This easy Crock Pot Meatball and Tortellini Soup is an all-in-one slow cooker meal that is made with premade meatballs and cheese tortellini!
CROCK POT MEATBALL AND TORTELLINI SOUP
There is just something so comforting about soup and this one is so easy to throw together. And if you are experiencing hot temperatures wherever you are, then making this in a slow cooker won't heat up your house. Also, this is a fantastic recipe to double up and take to a potluck. Just make sure your slow cooker is at least 6 quarts if you are going to double this recipe.
TIPS FOR MAKING THIS SOUP
- Feel free to use chicken or turkey meatballs in this recipe or leave them out altogether.
- If the tortellini or meatballs you purchase are fresh and not frozen, you can cut down on the cook time for this by at least and hour and a half.
- This can be made on the stovetop as well. Just use a large pot and simmer on low for about an hour or until meatballs are warmed all the way through. Add your tortellini in around the last 20 minutes of cooking.

In a 5-quart or larger slow cooker, pour beef broth, beans (do not drain), diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, celery, Italian seasoning and frozen meatballs - then stir.
Cover and set slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours.
About 30-45 minutes before you’re ready to eat, add frozen tortellini.
Allow to cook thoroughly. Add salt & pepper to taste (I usually add about a tsp. of table salt and ½ tsp of freshly ground black pepper).

Perfect timing Brandie. The weather is turning slightly cooler and it is definitely time for warming comfort food. Love the tortellini adding another texture to this soup.
I'm the kind of person who can eat soup any time of year. We're still experiencing 100+ degree temps here in Houston but this sounds so delicious. This has comfort food written all over it. I love all of the flavors in this soup.
YUMMMMMM! I love tortellini...one of my favorite things to have. I, however, have never had it in a slow cooker soup. This looks great!
