How to Make Italian Meatball Tortellini Soup in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
Cathy, one of our readers, asked if she could substitute tortellini or gnocchi for the potatoes in Cris’ Crock Pot Italian Meatball Soup. I told her that I had not tried that it sounded like a great idea! So, now you have this delicious Italian Meatball Crock Pot Tortellini Soup. It is so incredibly simple to make, cooks up quickly and reheats well. I highly recommend giving this a try. (Thanks for the idea, Cathy!)
I used thawed Italian style meatballs in this recipe. That way I can just throw in the frozen veggies and tortellini (still frozen) at the beginning and not worry about them getting mushy before the meatballs we ready. It also shortens the cooking time quite a bit from the recipe I was adapting.
