I love soups in the crockpot in the Fall. I pretty much live for that all year long. So I’m forever searching for new combinations that I think my family would enjoy. I’ve had this recipe for years, it’s one that I pulled out of a church cookbook that was passed on to me by my mother once upon a time.
The original recipe had no meat and didn’t include the tortellini, which meant there was a zero percent chance my family would eat it. So I tweaked it and I’m pleased to report that it came out fantastic. The kids were skeptical but they ate it.
