CROCK POT MEATBALL AND TORTELLINI SOUP

There is just something so comforting about soup and this one is so easy to throw together. And if you are experiencing hot temperatures wherever you are, then making this in a slow cooker won’t heat up your house. Also, this is a fantastic recipe to double up and take to a potluck. Just make sure your slow cooker is at least 6 quarts if you are going to double this recipe.

TIPS FOR MAKING THIS SOUP

• Feel free to use chicken or turkey meatballs in this recipe or leave them out altogether.
• If the tortellini or meatballs you purchase are fresh and not frozen, you can cut down on the cook time for this by at least and hour and a half.
• This can be made on the stovetop as well. Just use a large pot and simmer on low for about an hour or until meatballs are warmed all the way through. Add your tortellini in around the last 20 minutes of cooking.

HOW TO MAKE SLOW OOKER MEATBALL TORTELLINI SOUP:

In a 5-quart or larger slow cooker, pour beef broth, beans (do not drain), diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, celery, Italian seasoning and frozen meatballs – then stir.

Cover and set slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours.

About 30-45 minutes before you’re ready to eat, add frozen tortellini.

Allow to cook thoroughly. Add salt & pepper to taste (I usually add about a tsp. of table salt and ½ tsp of freshly ground black pepper). 

Ladle into bowls and top with grated Parmesan cheese.

Enjoy!
