I am greatly enjoying Grandma’s stories. One I typed up to be published later this month is closer to my heart than those Ive shared so far. Its funny how I didn’t catch up on what she was writing about until I got 1/2 way in. She bounces between calling her parents mom and dad and herself and grandpa mom and dad that it can be a while before I catch on which “time” the story is in.
This story was a bit on my parents, when they met. It was written many, many years later given she wrote about my sister at the end.

Dinner
Creamy Slow-Cooker Tortellini Soup
Ingredients
- 6 cups of your favorite homemade meaty spaghetti sauce or 24 oz jar prepared spaghetti sauce + 1/2 lb browned ground beef + 1/2 lb browned Italian sausage
- 1/2 bag (4.5 oz) fresh spinach leaves
- 4 C chicken broth
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 8 oz sliced fresh mushrooms
- 16 oz frozen cheese tortellini
Instructions
- Combine spaghetti sauce, spinach, cream cheese, chicken broth, and mushrooms in a slow-cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, on high for 3-4.
- 20 minutes before serving, turn heat to high if it isn't already an stir in frozen tortellini. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until tender and hot.
- Serve topped with parmesan cheese.
**Changes Ive made
2 cups broth, 1 1/4 cup portabella soup, 1/2 c Sweet Potato soup, 1/4 c French onion soup. I added the spinach 1/2 way through cooking. I wouldn’t suggest doing this on a normal crockpot but I cooked this in my Ninja cooker and there is a big steam hole in the lid and I take that as ok for me to lift the lid for a quick moment
Cute finish.
