SLOW-COOKER CREAMY TOMATO AND TORTELLINI SOUP



Slow-Cooker Creamy Tomato and Tortellini Soup image

As they say, opposites attract. That's certainly the case with sweet, acidic tomatoes and creamy dairy-in all its many forms. After all, it's this better-together combination that makes lasagna so luxurious, pizza so mouthwatering and grilled cheese and tomato soup so irresistible. So when we set out to make an extra-easy slow-cooker soup, we knew we wanted it to feature this combo. But hold on-dairy in the slow cooker? That's usually a less-than-ideal combination (dairy can easily curdle in the slow cooker). That's why the trick to this recipe is waiting until the end to add the cream and cheesy tortellini. That's right, we decided a double-dose of dairy would be the perfect complement to the tomatoes in this soup, and the result is rich, velvety and very comforting! And that's not all, the dollop of fresh pesto adds bright, anise-tinged notes and the sprinkle of shredded Parmesan adds nutty richness that take this simple soup to the next level!

Steps:

  • How to make it: onions, flour, basil, garlic, tomato paste and drizzle with olive oil. Microwave for 5 minutes, stirring every 90 seconds or so. (The mixture will be pasty and look weird but don't worry it will all be okay in the end). Add the mixture to the slow cooker. 2. Add broth, tomatoes, chicken, salt and pepper to the slow cooker. Stir. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours (or until chicken is very tender). 3. Remove the lid and add in tortellini and spinach, Parmesan cheese and warmed cream (cream should be warmed because it may cause curdling if added in cold). 4. Use a fork to remove the chicken out of the slow cooker. On a cutting board, shred or cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Add the chicken back into the slow cooker. Put the lid back on and cook on HIGH for about 10 more minutes, or until the tortellini are cooked through. Ladle into serving bowls and enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound ground Italian sausage, browned* (or ground chicken, turkey or beef)
1 brown onion, chopped
2 large carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
2 teaspoons beef bouillon powder (or chicken)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 cups beef broth (or chicken or vegetable broth)
12-ounce cans full fat evaporated milk or half-and-half
12 ounce packet cheese tortellini (or any flavour you like)
5 cups fresh Baby Spinach
1 cup milk
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup water

Steps:

  • Place the browned sausage, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, Italian seasoning, beef bouillon powder, salt, and broth in a 6-quart / litre slow cooker bowl. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 7 hours.
  • Uncover and skim any fat that is sitting on the top of the soup with a spoon; discard. Mix cornstarch and water until smooth. Stir in the cornstarch mixture with the evaporated milk (or half and half or cream). Add the tortellini and mix well. Cover again and cook for a further 45 minutes until the soup has thickened, and the tortellini is soft and cooked through.
  • Add in the spinach, pressing the leaves down to completely submerse into the liquid. Cover again for a further 5-10 minutes until the leaves have wilted.
  • Pour in milk in ⅓ cup increments, as needed, to reach your desired thickness and consistency (I needed ½ cup); taste test and season with extra salt and pepper to suit your tastes.
  • Serve with crusty warmed bread.
