Slow Cooker Creamy Tortellini Soup: A Comforting One-Pot Meal

Prepare the Sausage: In a large skillet, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat until browned, breaking it up into small pieces. Once browned, drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.

Add Ingredients to the Slow Cooker: In the slow cooker, combine the cooked sausage, chopped onion, minced garlic, diced tomatoes (with juices), vegetable broth, oregano, and basil. Stir everything together to combine.

Cook the Soup: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours, until the flavors have melded together.

Add Tortellini: About 30 minutes before serving, add the refrigerated tortellini to the slow cooker and cook until tender. If the soup seems too thick, you can add more vegetable broth or water to reach your desired consistency.

Finish the Soup: Once the tortellini is cooked, stir in the heavy cream (or half-and-half) and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup cook for an additional 10-15 minutes to warm through.

Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve with a side of crusty bread for dipping!
