    🛒 Ingredient notes

    Ingredients for slow cooker creamy tortellini soup.

    Olive Oil - for softening the onions, garlic, and carrots.

    Onion - adds depth of flavour and sweetness and forms the base of the soup.

    Garlic - 3 large cloves, finely chopped, for flavour.

    Carrot - 1 large carrot, peeled and diced adds texture and colour to the soup.

    Italian Seasoning - a blend of dried herbs including basil, oregano, rosemary, and thyme. It's great for adding a medley of flavours in one go.

    Plain Flour - used as a thickening agent.

    Vegetable Stock - provides depth and richness to the soup.

    Spinach and Ricotta Tortellini - or another filled pasta of your choice.

    Baby Spinach - the tender young leaves of spinach wilt easily when heated and add a fresh and slightly earthy flavour to the dish.

    Frozen Peas - retain their vibrant green colour and sweet taste, making them a handy addition to the soup.

    Double Cream - gives the soup a velvety smooth texture.

    Parmesan - for an added umami flavour.

    Nutmeg - the warm and slightly sweet spice enhances the flavour of this creamy soup.

    Salt and Pepper - for seasoning.

    Top Tips

    • Sautéing the onions, garlic, and carrots in olive oil, softens and caramelises the veggies, enhancing their natural flavours and adds depth to the soup.
    • Tortellini can become too soft if overcooked, so check it every 10 minutes once it's been added to the slow cooker.
    • Nutmeg can elevate the soup’s flavour profile. However, be cautious; a little goes a long way. Grate nutmeg freshly for the best results.

    🍴 Serving suggestions

    Serve the slow cooker tortellini soup with air fryer garlic bread or air fryer pizza for a filling and hearty meal.

    📖 Variations

    • Add cooked chicken, crumbled Italian sausage or leftover turkey to the soup for added protein.
    • Switch out spinach and ricotta tortellini for other fillings like sun-dried tomato and mozzarella or three-cheese tortellini.
    • Add sliced mushrooms along with the onions and garlic. The earthy flavour complements the creaminess of the soup nicely.
    • Swap the double cream for a tin of chopped tomatoes.

    🥡 Storage

    Store - leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

    Reheat - microwave until warm through.

    Freeze - allow the soup to cool and freeze for up to 3 months.

    ❓ Frequently asked questions

    What's the best tortellini to use – fresh, frozen, or dried?

    All types can be used. Fresh tortellini requires the shortest cooking time, followed by frozen and then dried. Adjust the cooking time accordingly to ensure the tortellini doesn’t become too soft.

    I don't have double cream. Can I use something else?

    Absolutely! You can substitute it with single cream, or even milk for a lighter version.

    Can I add other vegetables to the soup?

    Of course! This soup is versatile. Consider adding celery, diced peppers, courgette, or even kale for added nutrition and flavour.
