– For a bit of an acidic kick, a touch of sundried tomatoes can be added when the tortellini goes in.
– If you find yourself without a slow cooker, this recipe can be adapted for stovetop cooking—simply use a large pot and simmer the base of the soup, covered, for about an hour before proceeding with the addition of tortellini and cream cheese.
– As with any good soup, this one too deepens in flavor the next day; leftovers are to be celebrated and never wasted.
