Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can sauté the vegetables briefly before adding them to the slow cooker.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, you can mash some of the cooked vegetables against the side of the slow cooker before adding the tortellini.
- Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- You can use fresh herbs like parsley or basil for a brighter flavor.
