Equipment

  • Whisk
  • Slow Cooker
  • Chef's Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Wooden Spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lb Chicken breast
  • 4 medium Carrot
  • 3 stalk Celery
  • 1 small Onion
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 6 cup Chicken broth, low-sodium
  • 2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • 2 cup Milk
  • 1/4 cup Flour, all-purpose
  • 2 cup Tortellini pasta
  • 2 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
 

  • Start by preparing your ingredients. Chop the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set them aside. Then, finely chop the carrots, celery, and onion. Mince the garlic to release its flavor.
  • In your handy dandy slow cooker, combine the chopped chicken, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic. This mixture will serve as the flavorful base of your soup.
  • Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and sprinkle in the Italian seasoning. Stir everything together to ensure that the herbs and flavors are evenly distributed.
  • Cover your slow cooker and set it to low. Cook the mixture for about six hours, allowing all those delicious flavors to meld together.
  • After six hours, carefully remove the cooked chicken from the slow cooker. Shred or chop it into smaller pieces, then return it to the pot.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and flour until smooth. This will create a creamy base for your soup.
  • Add this milk and flour mixture to the slow cooker along with the tortellini. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
  • Let the soup cook for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tortellini is tender and the soup has thickened slightly.
  • Before serving, taste your soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt if necessary. This step is essential to ensure that every bowl is bursting with flavor.
  • Serve your Healthy Slow Cooker Creamy Tortellini Soup hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or cheese if desired. Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors!
