CROCKPOT CREAMY TORTELLINI, SPINACH & CHICKEN SOUP
I've made this several times now, changing it a bit to suit our mood, and we've loved it every time we've had it. I usually don't heat my cream in the microwave anymore (see step #3). Instead, I measure the amount of cream I'll need and leave it out to reach room temperature, and I've never had a problem with the cream...

Steps:
- 1. In a medium size skillet, sauté onions with the flour, basil, garlic, tomato paste and olive oil until it makes a paste, about 5 minutes. Add the paste to a 6-quart crock pot.
- 2. Stir chicken broth, undrained tomatoes, chicken, salt and pepper into the paste. Cover crock pot and cook on Low heat for 4 to 6 hours (or cook on High for 3 to 4 hours).
- 3. Remove crock pot lid, stir in tortellini, spinach, and Parmesan cheese. Heat cream in microwave oven for 30 to 40 seconds, and stir warmed cream into crock pot (the cream should be warmed or it's likely to curdle if added while it's still cold).
- 4. Remove chicken from crock pot, and shred chicken or cut into bite-size pieces. Return chicken to the crock pot, stir. Cover crock pot and cook on High heat for 10 minutes more or until tortellini is cooked through.

Steps:
- Add the carrots, onion, garlic, spices, tomatoes and broth to the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low until the carrots are tender, 3-6 hours (time varies depending on your slow cooker. If you cook it for longer - say, 8 hours - it won't hurt).
- Add the tortellini to the slow cooker, stir to combine, cover, and cook on high 20 minutes.
- Add the spinach, stir until wilted, cover again, and cook another 5 minutes.
- Warm the half and half in the microwave for 30 seconds. Add the cream, mozzarella, and Parmesan to the slow cooker. Stir until thoroughly combined and turn off the heat.
- Remove bay leaf. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- If adding sausage, place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add sausage to the pan and brown, breaking into small pieces with a spatula or wooden spoon as it cooks. Add cooked sausage to individual servings.

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!
