Slow cooker Creamy Tortellini, Spinach and Chicken Soup
This soup is a fan favorite on r/slow cooking.
It has become a family favorite that we have at least once a week. I cook mine on the stop top but it does work well in a Crock-Pot. I just prefer making soup on the stove.
Creamy Tortellini, Spinach and Chicken Soup
1 medium onion chopped
1/3 cup flour
1 tbsp dried basil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp tomato paste
3 tbsp olive oil
4 cups chicken broth
2 (14.5oz) cans petite diced tomatoes
1-1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
4 cups fresh or frozen cheese tortellini
3 cups packed spinach, more if you want
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1 cup of heavy cream or 1 cup half and half warmed
How to
-
Put the onions, flour, basil, garlic, tomato paste and olive oil in a pan. Cook for 5 minutes on medium heat. If using a crockpot transfer this to it at this point. If doing it on the stove don't do anything.
-
Add broth, tomatoes, chicken, salt and pepper. Stir it all together.
-
Cover and cook on low 4-6 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Or until chicken is tender.
4 Remove the chicken. Add the tortellini, spinach, parmesan cheese and warm cream.
-
Shred or cut chicken into bite size pieces and return to the pot. Cove and cook until tortellini is cooked through.
-
Serve and enjoy. I like serving it with some warm french bread.
