"This is a hearty cheese tortellini soup. It is great as a main meal. Utilize all organic and naturally raised humanly treated meat to bring out the full flavors of the soup. The design of this recipe is for the Ninja 3 in 1 crock pot, but can also be made with a large sauce pain and skillet. Preparation time set to coincide with the Ninja. Also assumes that the mushrooms and garlic will be prepped and added, while the both is reaching its boiling point."
