Slow Cooker Chicken Tortellini Soup
This post is sponsored by T–Mobile.
Chicken noodle soup is a staple in our house every winter (and a must-have on those days when you aren’t feeling great). This Chicken Tortellini Soup is an improved version of a classic and can be made in a slow cooker or an Instant Pot. Featured in the new cookbook from T-Mobile CEO John Legere, this recipe is just one of many that will become a regular part of your family’s
My life is made up of so many things that weave together to make a whole. It’s messy. It’s chaotic. It makes me who I am. Food is intertwined in my work and my life so when I heard that John Legere, CEO of T-Mobile had created The Slow Cooker Sunday Cookbook to incorporate his love of food and businesses I couldn’t wait to dig in.
This cookbook includes 52 of Legere’s favorite recipes, mixed with his advice to take from the office to the kitchen. Legere also takes readers behind the scenes of his popular SCS cooking show and gives them a small glimpse into his personal life. And, because Legere and the Un-carrier are committed to giving back and creating a future that’s brighter for everyone, net proceeds from the sales of the book will go to Feeding America to support its mission to feed America’s hungry.
My slow cooker has been a lifesaver for me during times when we are busy … which has pretty much been the last 15 years of my life. I was introduced to the Instant Pot a few years ago and now switch back and forth between the two. This recipe can easily be made in either of them.
This Chicken Tortellini Soup has all the makings of a perfect comfort food dish. We made this the other day when it was a bit gloomy outside and it was the perfect way to cheer things up.
I had, of course, seen John Legere on social media. He’s a pro there. But I didn’t know much of his story. Incorporated throughout this cookbook is his story and how he discovered who he was, in business and in life.
