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.

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.

What to serve with crockpot tortellini soup?

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.

We love Garlic Bread Cheese Sticks Recipe and it is perfect for dipping into the soup and getting every last drop. It is so good with the broth.

If you do not have time to make bread, grab some French bread from the bakery or grocery store.

How long will tortellini soup last?

The soup will typically last 3-4 days in the fridge.

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 wouldn’t 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

  • Use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts.
  • Try rotisserie chicken to save even more time. You can even use leftover chicken and this recipe is even easier.
  • Substitute ground chicken or ground pork in this recipe.
  • Add Italian seasoning for a new flavor.
  • Make creamy tortellini soup and add heavy cream to the soup.
  • Try different types of tortellini. Some ideas include: mushroom, beef and more.
  • Add chopped onions to the veggies in the soup. This adds even more flavor.
  • Spinach is delicious in this and makes it even more filling.
  • Diced tomatoes make a great add in and bulk up this slow cooker soup.

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.

  1. Carrie Barnard says:

    Just a regular substitute. The cooking time would remain the same.

  2. Barbara says:

    I only have chicken thighs on hand, not breasts. Would that change the cooking time or just be a regular substitute.

  3. Carrie Barnard says:

    Yes you can.

  4. Alexis says:

    Can I use frozen tortellini?

  5. Carrie Barnard says:

    Yes that would work.

  6. April says:

    Can I cook this in the crock pot on high for 4 hours?

  7. Carrie Barnard says:

    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.

  8. Riverlites says:

    Onion?

  9. Kathryn Canty says:

    5 stars
    A delicious change from chicken noodle soup!

  10. Carrie says:

    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.

  11. Hattie says:

    Can you use rotisserie chicken instead?
