SLOW-COOKER CREAMY TOMATO AND TORTELLINI SOUP



Slow-Cooker Creamy Tomato and Tortellini Soup image

As they say, opposites attract. That's certainly the case with sweet, acidic tomatoes and creamy dairy-in all its many forms. After all, it's this better-together combination that makes lasagna so luxurious, pizza so mouthwatering and grilled cheese and tomato soup so irresistible. So when we set out to make an extra-easy slow-cooker soup, we knew we wanted it to feature this combo. But hold on-dairy in the slow cooker? That's usually a less-than-ideal combination (dairy can easily curdle in the slow cooker). That's why the trick to this recipe is waiting until the end to add the cream and cheesy tortellini. That's right, we decided a double-dose of dairy would be the perfect complement to the tomatoes in this soup, and the result is rich, velvety and very comforting! And that's not all, the dollop of fresh pesto adds bright, anise-tinged notes and the sprinkle of shredded Parmesan adds nutty richness that take this simple soup to the next level!

Simple flavors and a rustic touch will make this soup an instant home-cooked favorite, especially on chilly, wintry days. Inexpensive dried lentils make up the bulk of the soup, helping fill in your fiber gaps and keep you full longer. Chickpeas are the secret ingredient to achieve supreme creaminess, which become delightfully smooth when blended, and sneak in an extra 3g fiber per serving.

CREAMY TOMATO AND LENTIL SLOW COOKER SOUP



Creamy Tomato and Lentil Slow Cooker Soup image

a spicy soup based on a Breville recipe in the slow cooker's sample recipes. I have modified this a bit - see which version you prefer.Originally it included 4 cloves garlic, 3 tsp minced chilli and you stirred 1/3 cup sun dried tomato pesto through at the end. I found this too hot. Even this version is fairly spicy but yummy! Next time I make it I will leave out the chilli altogether and just add sun dried tomato pesto.
