Slow Cooker Chicken Mushroom Tortellini Soup
If you’re a big fan of cream of mushroom soup (which I am) then you’ll love this recipe for Slow Cooker Chicken Mushroom Tortellini Soup! It’s filled with lots of mushrooms that are eventually pureed to make the base of the soup. I used cremini mushrooms but white button mushrooms would work just as well. I also decided to bulk up the soup with some chicken. I decided to go with boneless skinless chicken thighs but you can also use breasts for this recipe. The chicken breasts will stay tender because they’ll be totally enveloped in liquid while cooking. After the mushrooms, chicken and broth have slow cooked all day I added in a bag of frozen tortellini and some spinach. Let the tortellini cook on high for a few minutes and voila! The soup is done.

What Slow Cooker Did You Use?
For this recipe I used my Kitchenaid 6-Quart Slow Cooker. I prefer this slow cooker over almost every other slow cooker because it cooks evenly and low. It also has a medium setting as well as the normal low and high settings that other slow cookers have.

When does the tortellini go in?
Thanks for catching my error, Lauren. I just corrected the recipe!! Sorry about that.
Anyone have a substitute for the onions? I’m allergic.
I might just leave them out.
Hi Karen! I saw the review you did of your painted cabinets. They look beautiful. Are you still happy with them? Do you feel the knots came out looking clean? Is it Chameleon Paint-Utah’s Paint Pro? Thanks for your help:) PS, I also love some of your recipes.
