Creamy Crockpot Tortellini Soup

I’m a huge fan of Crockpot Tortellini Soup. I make it often for my family, so I wanted to try a new twist on our favorite. Boy oh boy am I glad I decided to experiment!
This Creamy Crockpot Tortellini Soup is BETTER than any tortellini soup I have made in the past. There are a lot of, what I like to call, “hidden veggies.” The spinach, mushrooms and carrots blend so well into the soup, both of my mushroom hating children didn’t blink and eye and ate 2 bowls full! SUCCESS!

Creamy Crockpot Tortellini Soup
- 24 oz jar spaghetti sauce
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup diced carrots
- 1lb ground beef, browned
- 4 cups of loosely packed fresh spinach leaves
- 4 cups beef broth
- 8 oz cream cheese, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 8 oz sliced fresh mushrooms
- 16 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini (you can also use frozen, just add 30 more minutes to cooking time)
- Combine spaghetti sauce, water, meat, onions, garlic, carrots, spinach, cream cheese, beef broth, and mushrooms in a slow-cooker. Cook on LOW for 7 hours, on HIGH for 5 hours.
- Before adding in tortellini, take a whisk to your soup to break up any chunks of cream cheese. Stir in tortellini. Cover and cook for 20-30 minutes or until tender and hot. (If using frozen tortellini, I would cook for about 45 more minutes, or until tender and hot)

Hi Corey, I first posted in February of 2016 about this amazing soup. Tonight I made it again for my church, this time for a soup fundraiser to raise money for a clean water project for our sister church in Baraderes, Haiti. People “voted” for their favorite soup with donations. Out of 22 soups, mine came in 5th and raised over $750! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this wonderful soup. Mine again was the first crockpot scraped clean!! In total we raised over $11,000, which will build a cistern to provide clean drinking water to our Haitian brothers and sisters. The fact that my little soup raised a significant part of that is such a joy for me! Thank you, thank you, thank you for gifting us with this delicious soup recipe! ☺️💗
Oh my goodness! This is such an amazing story. What a wonderful fundraiser. I’m honored you chose my soup to make for this special event.
All I could find was tortellini in the dry stock at my local grocery store, so they’re not frozen or refrigerated, so I’m not sure when I should put them in. Any advice?
I would cook them first Shontal, and then add them in after the soup is done cooking.
Well I have made this recipe almost once a week for a while now and I wanted to share something I do to give it a little bit more flavor it might not be for everyone but my family loves it this way. At Aldi’s they have an Italian dressing packet it’s quite small in a red pack. I add this at the beginning with the broth and meat and so forth and it gives such an amazing flavor in my opinion. I’m so glad I found your recipe online because my husband two teenage boys and a picky 8 year old daughter gobble it up like there’s no tomorrow.
Oh, I will have to try the Italian dressing next time Nina! Thanks for sharing!
I made this for guests and it was a hit. It was easy to make and everybody asked for the recipe. Thank you!
Loved it! Only change would be to use ground sausage instead of ground beef…just for a little extra flavor.
