This stew is a great freezer meal. I make a big batch and then freeze it in individual portions. Then, when I'm short on time, I can just pull a portion out of the freezer and reheat it.

This stew is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the tortellini and the creamy sauce, and they don't even notice the vegetables.

The vegetables in this stew are always cooked to perfection. They're not too mushy and they're not too crunchy. They're just right.

I'm not a big fan of tortellini, so I substituted it with egg noodles. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of cooked chicken in the fridge, and this is a great way to turn them into a delicious meal.

This recipe is a lifesaver on busy weeknights. I can just throw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning, and dinner is ready when I get home from work.
