Tips and techniques for crockpot soup

  • Use full fat  cream cheese for maximum creaminess.
  • Adjust amount of spices, based on your preference.
  • You can replace all the spices with 1-2 tbsp Italian seasoning.
  • Don’t omit heavy cream with milk since that will reduce the creaminess.
  • Tortellinis can be omitted if you want to enjoy a simple creamy tomato soup.
  • You can also make this soup on the stovetop and and it will be ready in under 1 hour.
  • If you don’t have a hand-held immersion blender, you can pour the soup in a blender and puree it in there.
  • Use low sodium broth to prevent this meal from becoming too salty.
  • Fresh garnish enhances flavor and either of these are a great choice: Fresh cilantro, basil, rosemary, chives.
  • For maximum cheese flavor, use cheese tortellinis and also add lots of freshly grated parmesan cheese on top, prior to serving.
  • For vegetarian version, use vegetable broth and use soy cheeses and thick coconut milk instead of heavy cream. However, coconut has a strong flavor and will alter the flavor greatly. Another substitute for heavy cream is dairy-free half and half, which won’t affect the flavor drastically.

Variations

  • Chicken tortellini soup- Mix in 1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken when you add the heavy cream, cream cheese and tortellini and let it all cook together for 30 minutes.
  • Spinach tortellini soup- Use spinach stuffed tortellini and/or you can also stir in 1/3 cup frozen spinach (thawed and drained of excess water).
  • Italian sausage tortellini soup- Mix in 1 cup cooked Italian sausage when you add the heavy cream, cream cheese and tortellini and let it all cook together for 30 minutes.
