Ingredients

1lb ground sausage
1/2 yellow bell pepper, diced
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup red onion, diced
2-15 oz cans of diced tomatoes
32 oz chicken broth
1/2 brick of cream cheese, cubed
2 tbs cornstarch
1 package of cheese stuffed tortellini
1/4 cup cornstarch (purposely separated from the 2tbs)
1/2 cup water

Recipe

  • Cook the ground sausage in a skillet until almost completely cooked through and then add in the diced peppers and onions. Cook for another few minutes until the peppers get a little soft. 
  • Grab your crockpot and add in the sausage and pepper mixture, the tomatoes, broth, cream cheese and then finally, add in the 2 tbs of corn starch and using a whisk, whisk until the corn starch is all broken down. Using a large spoon, stir it all around to distribute the cornstarch, veggies and broth. 
  • Put the lid on the crockpot and cook it on high for 3 hours. Stir every hour and try to break apart the cream cheese as it begins to soften. 
  • After 3 hours, in a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup corn starch and water. 
  • Pour the mixture into the crockpot and stir again. 
  • Add in the tortellini, stir and then put the lid on the crockpot to cook for another 30 minutes. 
  • After 30 minutes, the tortellini should be warm and the soup should be thickening because of the corn starch. 
  • Serve warm and enjoy!
