Healthier Slow Cooker Creamy Tortellini Vegetable Soup

I’m sure others will like it but not a huge hit at our house. Maybe with spinach instead of kale

YUMMY! i skipped the thyme and fennel but added 2 tsp parsley. used 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. also, i subbed spinach for the kale. so, so warm and cozy.

I blended the soup into a puree just before adding the tortellini so the kids had no idea they were eating veggies in their sauce 😄 also added shredded canned chicken. Delicious!

This was much better than expected. A person that hates vegetables actually like it. I was out of parmesan so I added cream cheese.

Very flavorful and delicious. Used Better than Bullion vegetable broth

It was terrible for me...

My partner and I followed the advice of others and kept the tortellini separate. We used a slow cooker and cooked it for about 5 hours on high. Pleasantly surprised the carrots stayed firm (not squishy) and we're rich in flavour. We agree with another reviewer that it has a lot of seasoning and may half the amounts next time. Good meal overall but we will do some fine tuning.

A little too soupy but not bad flavor

Crowd pleaser! I did a couple substitutions- beef broth, Marsala wine, and diced tomatoes instead of tomato paste. Broth was a little thinner but it helped stretch it. I ended up adding another cup of beef broth anyways. I don't have too many recipes with fennel seeds but they were great in this! It took a while to make, next time I will use frozen veggies to save time.

AWESOME! Was generous on the 2 tbls of tomatoe paste. Only 10 oz of tortellini. Would double broth as broth was absorbed. Added 4 chix breasts cubed and cooked in oven 375 for 25 mins seasoned with onion, garlic powder and pepper.

So good! I added a lb of ground chicken because my husband likes to have meat in his soup. I sautéed the meat with the onion and vegetables in the instant pot before adding the liquid and pressure cooking. I also added extra kale for that added health benefit. Will be making this a regular meal :)

This soup was delicious. I cooked it in the slow cooker on low for 6.5 hours. After adding the tortellini, spinach, cheese and cream I did turn it up to high and cooked it for 30 minutes to get the soup nice and hot, and the tortellini warmed through.

I added cherry tomatoes from my garden just to use them up. But had a fantastic flavor definitely a keeper.

Would recommend spinach instead of kale. Delicious otherwise

This was fantastic! Grandmother and husband both raved about it.

I used spinach instead of kale, just because that's what I had on hand. It was really good! 7-year old stamp of approval!

I added more tomato paste and an Italian herb blend instead of the separate herbs. But yum!

Made this in the slow cooker and it came out great! The broth is very flavorful!

This came out better than expected! I made 9 servings on the stove top. Once I cooked the tortellini I added another 4 cups of chicken broth to replace what was absorbed. Came out very herb-y and made a ton of leftovers.

This was a little too zesty for my and my family’s liking. I ended up doctoring it up throughout the process of taste testing…added can of diced tomato; added 2 cups of water. Turned out okay but still too many seasonings for our taste. Next time I will cut oregano in half and a little less of smoked paprika. It was just a little scratchy on the throat. It has a good underlying taste and I think our dislikes are just personal preference so still will use this as a base recipe again but will tweak the seasonings. I also used Swiss chard in place of kale.

Loved the flavor! We added cheese tortellini but cooked them separately so they didn't get too soft.

We made this the other night, broth was delicious 😙🤌

The addition of the smoked paprika is heavenly. Some reviews say this is bland… I did use regular, not low sodium, chicken stock. I’ve made this soup several times over the winter. So good!

I loved it, with some accidental and non accidental changes... *I made it in my dutch oven, so it was one pot. *I was missing a few ingredients, tomato paste and basil. I also left out the garlic and chili pepper for dietary reasons. *Worried it was going to be bland and boring but I dumped some caldo tamate in when I bloomed the spices and onion. *I also really let that deepen before adding the wine to the pan. *I also added 2 chopped up portobellos for more substance and flavor. *I cooked all the veg and wine down before adding the broth. Turned out amazing! I tried with and without cream, I preferred without. I felt the cream took away from the rich brothy umami. Update: I wasn't a fan of the tortellini texture in the leftovers, next time I'll just add it to each bowl so it doesn't become soggy later.

It came out a little on the bland side, but the addition of some more salt and Tabasco sauce made it quite tasty. If I do it again I will do the instant pot version. The crock pot time investment seemed unnecessary.

I was unsure of this recipe but it was delicious! My husband notes it was super flavorful. I added extra tortellini and spicy Italian sausage for a little extra.

Just made in instant pot, it’s wonderful! I added 2 cups of broth extra

The recipe is good but it definitely takes more seasoning than the recipe calls for. I added some leftover chicken I had to give a little protein, overall it’s a good recipe if you jazz it up some more :)

Added chicken thighs for protein (add at beginning and wait until end to break up), 4.5 hr on low, could use less oregano, add some other spices

Seriously so good! Tons of flavor. Made it as recipe called and wouldn't change a thing (except I didn't measure ingredients)! Will be making again

I used spinach instead of kale. Was good but I don't think it had a whole lot of flavor? Not sure what's missing though. If I make it again I will probably find ways to tweak it.

Was delicious and easy to cook

So good!!! I switched the kale out for spinach and used spinach tortellini and was so happy with the results! Has a nice kick but nothing too spicy for those who can't handle it

Always delicious and forgiving. Household favorite!

This is easy. We made it without the white wine just substitute ginger ale so you have no alcohol in it.

Yummy!! Pretty easy

Really good! I increased this from 6 to 8 servings to keep from having leftover tortellini and vegetable broth. I also screwed up and grabbed caraway seeds instead of fennel, but it was still really good!

Swap heavy cream for coconut milk. Use dairy free parmesan and tortellini.

Very good but I add extra tomato paste
