Mushroom Spinach Tortellini Soup

I thought Spring was getting close here in Florida. I’ve been putting out plants and even started Spring cleaning. I spent most of the day today on an extremely unorganized pantry. But the past few nights have been unusually chilly,  we even had a freeze a few nights ago and hit a record low.  So earlier today I decided to make this easy slow cooker soup. It made the house smell so good, and it was so easy to prepare.

For the creamy goodness in this soup, I used Progresso’s Recipe Starters in Creamy Parmesan Basil. This cooking sauce not only makes delicious pastas and casseroles, but soups too! First I just dumped the can of Recipe Starters in my crock pot and then added 2 cans of water. Then I added the onions, garlic and mushrooms and set my crock pot to low for about 5 – 6 hours. About 30 minutes before I was ready to serve, I added the tortellini and spinach. I used frozen tortellini, but you can also use dehydrated tortellini. The only difference is you have to first cook the dehydrated tortellini on the stove-top in boiling water according to package directions before adding it to this recipe.

This makes a great meatless recipe, but you can also add shredded leftover chicken or bacon pieces for added protein and flavor.
