CROCKPOT CREAMY TORTELLINI, SPINACH & CHICKEN SOUP



Crockpot Creamy Tortellini, Spinach & Chicken Soup image

I've made this several times now, changing it a bit to suit our mood, and we've loved it every time we've had it. I usually don't heat my cream in the microwave anymore (see step #3). Instead, I measure the amount of cream I'll need and leave it out to reach room temperature, and I've never had a problem with the cream...

Stir. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours (or until chicken is very tender). 3.
