Instructions
 

  • Brown the Ground Beef:
  • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through, breaking it into small pieces. Drain any excess fat.
  • Add the diced onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  • Assemble the Soup:
  • Transfer the cooked beef, onion, and garlic to the slow cooker. Add the crushed tomatoes, broth, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Cook:
  • Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours.
  • Add the Tortellini and Cream:
  • In the last 30 minutes of cooking, stir in the tortellini and heavy cream. Cook until the tortellini is tender and cooked through.
  • Serve:
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and top with shredded cheese and fresh herbs, if desired.

Notes

  • Tortellini Options: Use any type of tortellini you like—cheese, spinach, or meat-filled.
  • Make Ahead: Prepare the soup base a day ahead and refrigerate. Add tortellini and cream when reheating.
  • Vegetarian Option: Swap the ground beef for plant-based crumbles or omit it altogether, and use vegetable broth.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
