Sounds delicious! =)
Sounds delicious, but I’d be taking this to another house and don’t want to fiddle with adding the tortellini when I’m there. If I do it all at home, then take it to the party, would the pasta then get overcooked in the crockpot?
I would make the pasta separately and toss it with water after cooking so it doesn’t stick to itself, then add it to the soup right before serving. Great Question Sue!
It’s in the crockpot right not but I added some spinach to it as well just to give a little something extra. Smells wonderful, can’t wait to try it!
Do you drain the tomatoes for this?
NO, do not drain the tomatoes.
