Besides the appetizing dark red color, my favorite thing about this Slow Cooker Tuscan Tortellini Soup is that I can cook it in a crock-pot. To make this dish, simply add all ingredients to the pot and let simmer.
We completed our meal with some freshly grated parmesan cheese, pepper, and had an excellent dinner.
We made too much of this soup recipe and had to give some leftovers to a friend. They texted us the next day saying how great it was.

This soup is DELICIOUS!! Made it for my husband and I and then a friend stopped by- RAVE reviews all around including “I think this is the best soup I’ve ever had!” Thank you for sharing this recipe with us!! It is a WINNER!
WOW! This Tuscan Tortellini Soup is fantastic!! Everyone loved it so much!! Can’t wait to make it again and again!
Such a warm and comforting soup! I would love a BIG bowl of this for dinner!
This tortellini soup is SOOO delicious! From now on I am only using the slow cooker for soup haha!
This is our new favorite soup. So much flavor!
This looks so good! What a great lunch meal prep for the week!
Yes! That is a great way to use leftovers too.
I veganized this recipe and it was delicious! Instead of chicken broth, I used veggie broth. Instead of pork sausage, I used Beyond sausage. Instead of the tortellini brand recommended, I used Kite Hill. Instead of heavy cream, I used extra creamy oat milk. And instead of dairy parm, I used Violife parm.
So good!
Ok I did really like this but I did not have a crockpot big enough – I swear mine is a 6 qt but it was literally up to the brim before I added the tortellini, kale, cream and cheese. I transferred it from the crock pot to a heavy bottomed pot and it was up to the edge after I added the remaining ingredients. I ended up removing several cups of the broth to make room in the pot and to make it more like a stew. All that said, it was very delicious. If I make it again, I would cut back on the tomatoes and maybe the broth too.
I am glad you liked it, even though it made it a lot, hopefully, next time with your adjustments it will work in your slow cooker.
Wow such a wonderfully hearty meal! Perfect on this chilly evenings.
One of my favorite soup. Tortellini are everything I want right now!
Looks absolutely delicious! My family would definitely love this!
Do you have to use kale, not a fan of it.
Yes, you can easily do that; you can also substitute it with spinach.
I used spinach instead of kale, this is SO good!!
I love that!!! I will try that too!
in the video it only shows two cans of crushed tomato and the recipe calls for three.
just wanted to confirm that three cans was the right amount
can’t wait to try this!
Yes, 3 cans – enjoy!
Made this last night, and it was a hit with my family! The process was simple, but the flavors melded together beautifully! This recipe is a keeper!
So simple and this turned out DELICIOUS! Thank you for this easy recipe! So good!
Your Tortellini Soup recipe is fantastic! It was so easy to prepare and the flavors were incredible. A warm, comforting bowl of goodness that my family thoroughly enjoyed.
I could eat this every day, it’s incredibly delicious!
There’s nothing to dislike about this easy and delicious dish. I’ve made it with both ground beef and Italian sausage. It’s great with either one. Enjoy!
Note to self: used 1/2 block frozen spinach, no Kale. Used 1.5 tsp of seasonings. Used 1.5 lbs bulk fennel sausage. Used 2 cans crushed tomatoes, 2 cans of broth and one can of water. Added 1/2 cup cream. Perfect size pot for lunch prep for the week. One of the husband’s favorite—absolutely delicious!
This does not fit in a 6 qt slow cooker I’ve made it a bunch and modified it added mushroomsof crushed tomatoes substituted one of them for a jar of spaghetti sauce took the tortellini out and put broken lasagna noodles instead and cut the broth down to 3 cups and added a lot more seasoning basil, oregano, parsley, marjoram, rosemary, thyme Lawrys garlic salt a little more garlic cloves and spinach instead of kale that being said it s DELICIOUS I always use recipes and tweak them bc my husband says everything is bland lol so I use a lot
My family loves this soup! I’ve also provided it at PTO luncheons and it’s always been a hit! I usually make it without the kale and it tastes just as good!
Oh I love this! Thanks for sharing!
