This Slow Cooker Creamy Tortellini Spinach and Mushroom Soup is the perfect way to warm up this winter.  It is loaded with cheese tortellini and is so creamy, dreamy and delightful! 

Just throw it all in your slow cooker, relax under a warm blanket, watch a Netflix marathon, and smell the wonderful aromas (total dreamland scenario here).  

I don’t eat beef or pork, so a soup loaded with 3 of my favorite foods really satisfies my cravings during these cold winter months.  If you are a vegetarian, simply substitute the chicken with vegetable broth for the win.

We had a few inches of snow here in the St. Louis area a couple of nights ago, so this really hit the spot!  My husband sure seemed to enjoy it as well.  He had a bowl when he came home from work and another for dinner!  

Tacos are on the menu for dinner tonight, but I really want this soup too.  I don’t care if it is a really strange combination.  Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup will have to wait until tomorrow.

I really have made it my goal this winter to make as many of my weeknight meals in the Slow Cooker as possible.  There are so many less pots and pans to clean up and the meals are usually hearty enough to savor with a nice salad.  

This recipe does involve sauteing onion, garlic and spinach together separately to ensure no decadent flavors are harmed in the creation of this delicious recipe!  The extra dish to clean is well worth the taste of this Slow Cooker Creamy Tortellini Spinach and Mushroom Soup.
