Time 5h20m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 medium yellow onion (diced (about 1 cup))
2 medium carrots (peeled and chopped (about 3/4 cup))
2 medium cloves garlic (minced (about 2 teaspoons))
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano*
1/2 teaspoon dried basil*
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper + more to taste
1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
4 cups 1 32-ounce box vegetable broth
1 12-ounce package dry cheese tortellini
4 cups about 4 ounces packed baby spinach
1 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup 2 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup 1 ounce grated Parmesan cheese
Ground sweet Italian sausage (3/4 pound if adding to all; use about 1/3 pound if adding to half)

Steps:

  • Add the carrots, onion, garlic, spices, tomatoes and broth to the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on low until the carrots are tender, 3-6 hours (time varies depending on your slow cooker. If you cook it for longer - say, 8 hours - it won't hurt).
  • Add the tortellini to the slow cooker, stir to combine, cover, and cook on high 20 minutes.
  • Add the spinach, stir until wilted, cover again, and cook another 5 minutes.
  • Warm the half and half in the microwave for 30 seconds. Add the cream, mozzarella, and Parmesan to the slow cooker. Stir until thoroughly combined and turn off the heat.
  • Remove bay leaf. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  • If adding sausage, place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add sausage to the pan and brown, breaking into small pieces with a spatula or wooden spoon as it cooks. Add cooked sausage to individual servings.

This soup is a crime against cuisine. It should be banned from all kitchens. I would not recommend it to anyone, even if they were starving.

This soup is the worst thing I have ever tasted. It was so bad that I had to throw it away. I would not recommend it to my worst enemy.

This soup is terrible. I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out inedible. I would not recommend it to anyone.

This soup was a waste of time. It was bland, watery, and had no flavor. I would not recommend it to anyone.

Overall, this soup was good, but it wasn't anything special. I probably wouldn't make it again.

This soup was easy to make, but it didn't have much flavor. I added some extra spices, and it was much better.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I added some extra broth, and it was perfect.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover tortellini. I also added some cooked chicken to mine, and it turned out great.

This soup is creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. The tortellini and spinach add a nice texture, and the Parmesan cheese adds a touch of richness.
