Tortellini and sausage soup hacks, hints and substitutions:
- I always recommend using a slow cooker liner. This is an optional step, but it makes for the easiest cleanup! I buy them in bulk to keep the costs as low as possible. Click here if you want to see the ones I use.
- To keep things as lazy as possible, the recipes uses frozen vegetables. The reasoning is simple, they come fully washed and cut and have a much longer shelf life. You can buy in advance and have them on hand for a “whenever” meal. However, if frozen isn’t your thing, fresh equivalents are also listed below.
- To make this dairy free, swap out the cheese tortellini for one with a non-dairy filling.
- Delicious served with some fresh grated Parmesan cheese on top.
