This Crockpot Tortellini Soup is an easy dinner that is full of flavor, made with tortellini, sausage, tomatoes, and spinach in a delicious broth thickened with cream cheese. It’s hearty and filling, especially with some crusty bread on the side.
CREAMY Tortellini Soup Recipe
The crock pot makes cooking so much easier, and one of my favorites things to make in it is homemade soup. The recipe I’m sharing today is a really simple sausage pasta soup that is easy to prep, and then you just leave it to simmer.
We love this slow cooker tortellini soup on chilly days. It’s comforting and filling all on its own, or you can serve it with a salad and bread on the side. This will be your new favorite soup!
INGREDIENTS NEEDED
- Tortellini: You should use frozen tortellini – we prefer cheese tortellini but you can use your favorite flavor.
- Sausage: I like buying sausage with the casing removed, but you can also buy links and remove it yourself. Italian sausage, pork sausage, turkey sausage, use whatever you like.
- Spinach: Fresh baby spinach is best.
- Tomatoes: I used canned fire roasted tomatoes. Diced tomatoes or crushed tomatoes will work.
- Broth: I used low-sodium chicken broth but you may substitute vegetable broth.
- Cream Cheese: This should be cubed.
- Cheese: I grated parmesan cheese
- Spices: Salt and pepper, of course, and I add Italian seasoning but you can also use a mixture of dried herbs like oregano and thyme.
How To Make Crockpot Tortellini Soup
Before cooking you’ll need to brown your sausage over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Be sure to drain the fat.
- Add diced tomatoes, sausage, garlic, Italian seasoning, chicken broth, cream cheese and onion in the crockpot.
- Cook on low heat for 4-5 hours. Whisk every hour to help melt and incorporate the cream cheese.
- Add tortellini and spinach for the last 30 minutes of cook time.

Expert tips
You can easily make this soup on the stove top in a dutch oven. Simply brown the sausage with onions and garlic and drain fat, then add the other ingredients and cook until boiling. Add the tortellini and spinach and cook until they are done.
Storage
Store leftover soup in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Reheat in microwave. I don’t recommend freezing this soup as the pasta will get soggy.
