Notes

This recipe is adaptable. You can add cooked ground sausage for extra flavor or extra veggies from your fridge. For crockpot instructions, sauté onion then transfer to crockpot, adding remaining ingredients except tortellini, spinach, parmesan cheese, and cream. Cook for 4-5 hours, then add tortellini the last 30 minutes and other ingredients shortly before serving. Storage: Keep in refrigerator for 3-4 days; freeze up to 3 months before adding tortellini.
