Creamy Tortellini Vegetable Soup Healthier Slow Cooker Creamy Tortellini Vegetable Soup. - Half Baked Harvest
I like to add 1 pound ground Italian sausage (Shredded chicken would be great too!) and zucchini. Grated provolone could be used as a substitute for the Parmesan. Bacon would be delicious as well.
(Note from Bess: This soup is AMAZING! Once I added the sausage and zucchini, I felt like the soup needed more broth as well. I added a bit more tomato paste, cream, and broth. Add until it has the ratio of broth to veggies/meat that you prefer. I also substituted more broth for the white wine. We didn't miss it even though wine would be delicious as well.)

Directions:
1. Mix two boxes, as directed and pour into an 8"x8" pan for extra tall brownies. Sprinkle mini semi-sweet chocolate chips on top before baking. Use cast-iron or glass pan. Disposable foil pan doesn't work as well.
