Slow Cooker Italian Sausage Tortellini Soup

Slow cooker Italian sausage tortellini soup with red peppers, onions, spicy Italian sausage and Italian seasonings, and last but not least, cheesy tortellini pasta. This is the perfect blend of comfort foods and so so easy to make. 

We just got back from a family vacation and my head is spinning a little bit. Not just because of the mountains of laundry that need tackling and the abundance of emails to catch up on, but I feel like I left during summer and come home to Fall and it’s weirding me out a little bit. In the best way possible because I am r e a d y to for boots and drives up the canyon and lots and lots of SOUP.

First on the docket: slow cooker Italian sausage tortellini soup with red peppers, onions, spicy Italian sausage and Italian seasonings, and last but not least, cheesy tortellini pasta. There’s something about combining pasta and soup that just screams *comfort food* to me and it’s absolutely perfect for this time of year. Just throw it all in the slow cooker, let it cook for 6-8 hours, stir in your tortellini, and call it a day. A delicious slow cooker soup day.

AKA: the best kind of day.
