How to make crockpot chicken tortellini soup?
This is truly a toss and go recipe. You can easily put this together even during busy mornings and come home to dinner ready to enjoy.
Just add everything to the crock pot except the frozen tortellini. The onion carrot and seasonings really make this such a savory broth.
Cover and cook.
Once everything has finished cooking, take the chicken out of the crock pot and shred the chicken.
You can use 2 forks but I like to use an electric mixer. It is super fast and easy.
Right before serving, add the tortellini to the crock pot. Put the lid on and allow to cook until it is soft.
I normally add the pasta 30 minutes before I am ready to serve and cook on high.

Everything you need for a great meal is in the slow cooker. Just add some crusty bread and that is all you need to go along with this soup.

I love to eat leftovers for a quick lunch during the week. It sure makes an easy and savory meal.
My kids love for me to pack this in a thermos in their lunchbox for a change from sandwiches.
Can you freeze creamy chicken tortellini soup?
You can freeze this soup but I wouldnโt add the tortellini until ready to cook. Combine all of the ingredients in a freezer bag.
When you are ready to cook, dump the bag in your slow cooker. Cook as normal.
The cooking time will need to be increased if the soup is frozen.
TORTELLINI SOUP VARIATIONS

TIPS FOR CHICKEN TORTELLINI SOUP
- The pasta will soak up the broth. When reheating, I like to add more chicken broth.
- Use up extra veggies in the fridge. It is a good way to clean out the refrigerator while sneaking in extra veggies.
- Cut vegetables the same size so they all cook evenly. I prefer larger chunks so they don’t get mushy during cooking or when reheated.

Just a regular substitute. The cooking time would remain the same.
I only have chicken thighs on hand, not breasts. Would that change the cooking time or just be a regular substitute.
Yes you can.
Can I use frozen tortellini?
Yes that would work.
Can I cook this in the crock pot on high for 4 hours?
We didn’t add onion to this soup when we made it, but you can add 1/2-1 onion diced to the crock pot with the chicken if you prefer.
Onion?
A delicious change from chicken noodle soup!
Yes, you just won’t need to cook it as long since the chicken is already cooked. I would cook it in the crock pot for 2-3 hours with the cooked chicken.
Can you use rotisserie chicken instead?
