Crock-Pot Creamy Spinach Tortellini Soup
6 ingredients in this soup. 6 is all that it takes to make this delicious soup for your family to enjoy.
This recipe calls for frozen spinach. I discovered the joy of canned spinach. Just like Popeye use to eat. My local store had a sale on numerous canned items. I was looking for canned carrots for the neighbor for his carrot rice beef recipe he makes. It is a strange combination, but is really tasty! Anyway, I spotted canned spinach.
For $.29 a can, I had to try it. One can was almost the same amount as one bag of frozen spinach. You have to squeeze the excess water out of the spinach, but all in all my final opinion is now canned spinach. No need to store in the freezer, and all it takes is a shelf.
Add all the ingredients and let the slow cooker do the work for you. I used a little French Bread for a side. The soup turned out delicious. I had enough leftovers for two days of work lunches.
