Only 5 Minutes to Prep!
We have our favorite soups on rotation in the colder months, and this crockpot tortellini soup is one of them! In fact, it’s probably a top 3 at the Merkleys. The best part is that you literally dump everything in the crock pot and you’re set!! Weeknights are busy so we LOVE recipes that can be dumped into the slow cooker and taste AMAZING 4 hours later. This recipe has to be one of the most flavorful and simple soup recipes we’ve ever tried. It is hearty and filled with cheesy tortellini, spinach, tomatoes, and a wonderful blend of spices! Best part is it only takes 5 minutes to prep! For more great soups with tortellini, check out our Tortellini Soup and Creamy Tortellini Soup.
