Chicken Tortellini Soup

I have to admit that when I saw this on Facebook, I was so excited because the weather is cooling off and I absolutely LOVE a crock-pot recipe!!  There is something to be said with the ability to throw a mix of ingredients in a post, set a temp, and set a time and when you get home from work, dinner is READY!!!  Not to mention that your house smells incredible!
I knew that we were going to have some cooler weather this weekend with Hurricane Matthew coming through, the temp was dropping and the rain was happening so it was good time for rest, snuggles, leggings and some crock-pot cooking!!!
I LOVE chicken noodle soup and I LOVE Tortellini, so when you can combine 2 of my favorites, I am ALL FOR IT!  Best part----It was INCREDIBLE!!!!
So this is how I made it......

Chicken Tortellini Soup

1 Carton of Vegetable Stock - low sodium
2 large carrots pealed and diced
3 stalks of celery chopped fine
1 large onion diced
4 chicken breast
3 cups of water
Salt and Pepper
2 garlic cloves pressed
1 Tablespoon of Italian Seasoning
1 package of cheese tortellini (I chose whole wheat)

Place chicken in the crock-pot, single layer and pour over stock and water.  Put in carrots, celery, onions, seasonings and garlic,  Place lid on crock-pot and cook on low for approx 6-8 hours,
After cooking, remove chicken and shred.  Place chicken, along with Tortellini in the broth and place on high for approx 20-30 minutes to cook the tortellini.
Serve in a big bowl with a big spoon.

This was AWESOME!!!!!  The HUBBY even liked it!!!!  That is a big deal!  He is a PICKY eater and for him to tell me several times how good it was something!!!!!

Happy Cooking!!!!!!
