Tortellini Soup in the crockpot is an easy dinner that is full of flavor. Store-bought tortellini simmers with 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.
The crockpot 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 tortellini 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.

Recipe FAQs
What kind of tortellini can you use? You can use any flavor you like – we like cheese tortellini, but other types would be good, too. Just make sure to use frozen tortellini and not the refrigerated kind.
Can you use frozen spinach? Yes, but you will only need to use about a quarter of a box or approximately 2 to 3 ounces.
How long does spinach tortellini soup last? It will last for a few days in the fridge, but the pasta will absorb the broth, so it won’t be very soupy. Because of this, I think it’s best the day it’s made.
