Slow Cooker Creamy Hamburger Tortellini Soup

I brought this soup to my son’s school the other day because the PTA was feeding the teachers during the week of parent-teacher conferences. I almost got accosted by two of the teachers who were so excited to eat it. It was hilarious! Luckily I had saved a few portions of the soup for my own family who were equally as excited to eat it. It was seriously delicious!!! You should make it this week.

A few recipe notes:

Tortellini: I buy frozen cheese tortellini in the frozen foods section of the grocery store. At Smith’s, Winco and Walmart the frozen tortellini is kept next to the frozen breads. A random spot, but yeah, it’s there.

Beef Broth: I used 4 cups of water and added in 4 tsp of Better Than Bouillon Beef Base. I buy the big container of Better than Bouillon at Costco because I use it so often.

Half and Half: half and half is found in the dairy aisle. It’s a mix of cream and whole milk. You can also use heavy cream for this recipe. If you’re in a pinch you could even use milk. It won’t be as creamy and luscious but it’ll work.S

What Slow Cooker Did You Use?

To make Slow Cooker Creamy Hamburger Tortellini Soup I used my Ninja Auto-iQ 6 Quart Slow Cooker.* My favorite feature of this slow cooker is that it has a stovetop function. This is perfect for sauteing or browning before you slow cook. This slow cooker has four manual cooking functions: slow cook, stove top sear/Saute, steam, and bake.

Description

A creamy soup with ground beef, spinach, carrots and cheesy tortellini.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 white or yellow onion, diced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 3 carrots, sliced into 1/2 inch slices
  • 2 celery ribs, sliced into 1/4 inch slices
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 10 ounces frozen cheese tortellini (or fresh)
  • 2 cups half and half, warmed
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 3 cups coarsely chopped spinach or kale
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat a pan on your stove over medium high heat. Add in the beef and onion. Brown the beef for about 5 minutes. If there is excess grease spoon it off or drain it with a colander. Add in the spices (garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper) and stir them into the beef. Transfer the beef to the slow cooker.
  2. Add in the carrots, celery and broth. Stir a little.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours.
  4. Turn slow cooker to high. Remove the lid. Add in your tortellini. Usually if the liquid is boiling it only takes 2 minutes for frozen tortellini to cook (for fresh it will take longer).
  5. Stir your cornstarch into your warmed half and half until it is smooth and creamy. Stir the mixture into the slow cooker. The cornstarch will help thicken the soup in a couple of minutes.
  6. Stir in the spinach.
  7. Taste test and then add salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and serve.

    So good! Made with 1 pound chicken thighs + 1 pound stew meat for 7 hrs on low. Did not brown the beef or onion, just dump recipe, leaving all other ingredients as they were written. It was amazing! Smelled so good all day cooking! Thank you!
    PS-I froze a couple servings to test. Froze well & tasted great after frozen.

    Sounds good! Wondering if could be made with stew meat or chicken? I don’t want to brown anything (lazy me!). Thank you so much.
