Recipe for Slow Cooker Sausage, Tortellini and Mushroom Soup

This is a creamy soup that uses flour, nonfat powdered milk and evaporated milk to get that consistency.  So it’s a little bit less guilt than butter and cream.  Plus it has some mushrooms in it, so you’re good to go!

Review:
Yummers!  My family really enjoyed this soup.  My kids both love tortellini and ravioli so they will pretty much eat it in any form.  The sausage gives it great flavor…it could be easily swapped out for a spicy Italian sausage if you like a little more heat.  No leftovers at my house with this recipe!  4 stars.

    If I made this in the instant pot would I just add the dairy last on sauté like you did for the smiliar recipe previously? I already bought ingredients for this one not realizing there wasn’t an instant pot version 🤪

    Could you fix this and freeze it?

      Maybe just leave it out and add in cream or milk at the end if needed.

    Brooke, I'm not sure if cornstarch would work. I'd be afraid that it would give it a bit of a weird taste. You could try it…just not totally sure. Good luck!

    I made this for dinner tonight and it was so good. Even my Husband with his picky palate loved it. I made it exactly as directed above with the exception that I used Hot Italian Sausage and I used a little more than 1/2 lb. Also my Tortellini was a 20 oz container and it wasn't originally frozen so I threw it in the freezer after purchase. I also quartered the mushrooms instead of slicing them. It turned out great. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

    Sausages plus mushrooms plus tortellini is like the three best things in the world combined for me.
