Slow Cooker Chicken Tortellini Soup

Slow Cooker Chicken Tortellini Soup is a fun twist on the traditional chicken noodle soup. It’s the perfect comfort food to make in the crock pot.

Slow Cooker Chicken Tortellini Soup

Why You’ll Love This Recipe!

It’s a fun change! Tired of chicken noodle soup? Try chicken tortellini soup instead. Bring a new dimension to your chicken noodle soup by replacing the noodles with cheese tortellini.

It’s easy! And to make it even easier, this recipe is made completely with your slow cooker. 

It’s Versatile. Instead of chicken, use leftover turkey!

Chicken Tortellini Soup

Ingredients

  • Chicken Breasts. I use boneless skinless chicken breasts.
  • Cheese Tortellini. Use dried or fresh tortellini. Fresh tortellini will cook faster.
  • Chicken Broth. Can use low-sodium chicken broth if needed.
  • Diced Tomatos
  • Onion
  • Carrots
  • Red Pepper
  • Spices. Dried Basi, oregano, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper.

How to Make Slow Cooker Chicken Tortellini Soup

  • Add all ingredients except for cheese tortellini into the slow cooker. You are putting the chicken in uncooked.
  • Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours. 
  • Remove chicken and use two forks to shred chicken. 
  • Return chicken to slow cooker and add cheese tortellini. 
  • Cook for an additional 30 minutes and serve.  

Tips

This soup is easy to customize with just a few easy changes:

  • Add chopped celery
  • Add heavy cream or half and half to make a creamy chicken tortellini soup.
  • Instead of tortellini you could use mini ravioli, a wide egg noodle or some type of small pasta.
  • Garnish the soup with some chopped parsley and shredded Parmesan cheese.

Frequently Asked Questions

What other vegetables can I use?

You could use some chopped celery, corn, peas, zucchini and even throw in a few handfuls of spinach before serving.

Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast?

Yes, use a skinless, boneless chicken thigh.

Can this be made on this stove top instead of the slow cooker?

This can be made in a dutch oven on the stove top if desired.
Simmer on stovetop until the chicken is cooked through.

What is the best way to store leftover soup?

Store any remaining chicken tortellini soup in an airtight container. It will keep it in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat put in a large pot and warm on the stove top.
