Crock Pot Tortellini Soup

I am SO over this winter. We had a few days here and there of temperatures that reached into the forties, and I am just dumb enough, to have thought this meant spring was on the way. I started making all sorts of spring vegetable meals, and I was doing some "spring cleaning" around the house. And then.....WHAM - snow again.

The only thing that gets me through these cold nights is a huge bowl of piping hot soup. I love soup in the winter; it's the only way to warm up from the inside out. It is so much better than a warm blanket. And since it appears that we will be seeing a lot more of this winter business, I am sharing my new favorite Crock Pot Tortellini Soup!

A while back I posted a great Crock Pot Recipe Round up and the hit of the post, according to my readers/friends, was a tortellini soup. Well, knowing that you all enjoy a good crock pot soup, I decided to give you my version of a Crock Pot Tortellini Soup and it's loaded with yummy veggies to boot!

Notice the snow in the back drop? Yup, it's snowing AGAIN!

My recipe is a tomato based soup and it serves up rather thick. In fact, when I made it the other night, I asked my husband "Are you having more soup, or can I start to clean up?". And he looked at me quizzically and said "that was soup? I thought it was a tomato sauce". I am standing by my title, it's a soup!

One final comment about this recipe. I know I say this on all my crock pot recipes, it's become my disclaimer: I am not one of those people who swear by a crock pot. Most things, I don't enjoy out of a crock pot, so when I post a crock pot recipe, you can be surer than sure, that it is darn good.
