Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Tortellini Soup is such a delicious and comforting soup. Loaded with carrots, celery, onion, chicken and tortellini, this creamy soup will become a favorite! 

Remember how last week is was really hot and in the 90’s and I wished that fall weather would come? Well it came yesterday and got down to 54 degrees. The heater even kicked on last night. We have this cold that is going through our family and now I am the one that has it. So now I am not too sure I am quite ready for this cold weather. 😉

One thing that I love about fall though is soup! Even though I could eat soup all year long, I get even more excited to make it when the cold weather starts to come. And all I felt like this week was a comforting bowl of soup. Since this Slow Cooker Chicken Tortellini Soup went crazy last year, I knew that a creamy version had to make its debut!

This creamy soup is so comforting and such a classic. Carrots, celery, onions, chicken, and tortellini all come together to make this soup hearty and feeling. I love a good and creamy soup and this one hit the spot!

I know that your family is going to love this delicious and creamy soup just as much as we did!

What goes with tortellini soup?

The best side dishes to serve with tortellini soup are garlic basil parmesan crisps, cheesy croutons, focaccia, and bacon puff pastries. You can try a simple arugula salad or caesar salad if you want a lighter option. More unique sides include pan-seared scallops or avocado fries.

Can you freeze cheese tortellini soup?

Yes, you can. You will need to freeze it before you add the tortellini. Sausage tortellini soup freezes well but if you freeze the soup with pasta in it, the pasta will get mushy as it thaws. Freeze tortellini soup in an airtight container for up to 3 months, then add the fresh pasta when you are ready to heat it up.
