Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 16 ounces Italian Sausage
- 1 small onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 4 carrots chopped or diced
- 1 14 ounce can diced tomatoes
- 1 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes

- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 9 ounce packages of refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups baby spinach chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Parmesan Cheese shredded
Instructions
- Add the olive oil to a large skillet and saute sausage and onion over medium high heat. When the sausage is browned add the garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant and then add it to the crockpot.
- Add chopped carrots, diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, chicken broth and Italian seasoning to the crockpot. Cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 7-8 hours.
- Add the tortellini, cream and chopped spinach and cook on low for 30 additional minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with shredded parmesan and basil if desired.
Notes
The carrots can take a while to cook, so if you are cooking this soup on high make sure to chop them into smaller chunks.
Refrigerated cheese tortellini makes a difference in the taste and texture of this soup, shelf stable tortellini will work as a substitute, but it's worth it to look for refrigerated!
