I don't know what the weather looks like where you are, but it's pretty icy and wet here today. This kind of weather merits some belly-warming dinner! Here's a recipe that definitely fits the bill!

Throw all of the following into the CrockPot:

1 lb. turkey sausage, browned

1 bag frozen cheese tortellini

1 box frozen spinach (or one bag fresh)

2 cans tomatoes with italian seasoning (I used my canned tomatoes -- my very last ones --sniff, sniff--, so I had to add my own italian herbs)

1 block fat free cream cheese, chunked up

4 c. (one box) chicken broth

Cook for 5-6 hours.

We loved this soup! It actually made enough to feed us twice. John remarked that it was interesting because it had a creamy base but still felt light (he can't stand for his food to feel "heavy"). I'd credit the fat free cream cheese for that. Another thing I like about this meal is that (other than the cream cheese, which will last awhile in the fridge) all the ingredients are freezer or shelf stable, so I can have them on hand for a day like today when I wouldn't dare leave the house without a 4-wheel-drive!
