Ingredients
- 24 oz jar spaghetti sauce
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 3-4 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 cup diced carrots
- 1 lb 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
Instructions
- 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)
