Tortellini soup has always been one of my favorites. The cheese inside the tortellini just adds a little bit something extra to a soup very similar tasting to chicken noodle soup.
This crockpot version couldn’t be any easier. Fresh chicken breasts get cooked at the same time everything else does in one single pot.
The most time you’ll spend on prepping this soup is basically cutting up all of the veggies. After that, it’s just a matter of adding everything to the crockpot and letting it do all of the work.
Several hours later, you’ll need to remove the chicken breasts and dice them up. Add them back into the crockpot with your tortellini. Fifteen to twenty minutes later, you’ll be ready to chow down.
This recipe makes a big batch of soup so unless you’re feeding an army, you’ll have lots of leftovers.
