Chicken Tortellini soup is a slow cooker friendly meal you family will enjoy. Flavorful with celery, carrots and Italian spices, this soup will become a cool weather favorite.
There is a definite chill in the air outside (and inside!) so when I look at this picture of Chicken Tortellini Soup one thing comes to mind: I’m going to have to make it again. I am so cold sitting here and I can just taste the yummy-ness and warmth. (Can you taste warmth? Sure, why not.)
This recipe is rather frugal, so simple and so tasty. It only requires a few ingredients. Pair this soup with oatmeal bread or a french bread, cheese slices and a fruit salad and you have a warm, delicious meal.
Oh, I know you are thinking it: Yes, more soup.
So grateful for soup. I am even more grateful for the tortellini I found at Aldi’s for just over a $1 a bag.
I admit, I was skeptical. So was my husband when he saw it. Our normal bag of tortellini typically costs around $3 to buy. What is the review? DELICIOUS! I can’t believe I found a cheaper alternative. More tortellini with our spaghetti! ;-)

Could you freeze this soup?

I have never tried. My guess would be yes. I freeze noodles in casseroles (and have in other soups before) so I would think it would be okay. :-)
