Crockpot Tortellini Soup by Virginia

           Crockpot Tortellini Soup

(This easy and wonderful soup came from my sister Virginia.  We trade a lot of recipes and this one is such a good "comfort" soup, we love it and it's very filing so be aware when you dish it up! )

* one 16oz package of refrigerated 3 cheese tortellini ( I use 1/2 package of a double one from Costco)

* 2 cans of diced tomatoes the ones with basil and oregano

*4 - 6 cups chicken broth

* 1 lb. Jimmy Dean sausage, regular.  (My sister likes a lot so she buys the big one from Costco, but we like the smaller one just fine)

*8oz cream cheese

Directions:

fry up the sausage and put in crockpot

add:  chicken broth, and tomatoes

Cook on low for about 6 hours (I just cooked mine on high for about 3) - you just want the flavors to cook together

After that add 8 oz cream cheese and stir until melted, then add tortellini and cook until it's done.

Serve 

Note:  make sure this is in the crockpot for the 6 hours, I did it in 4 and the flavor was bland, after it sat and was re-heated, the flavor was finally right)
