Ingredients
- 1 (20 oz) package cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)

- 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes

- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese, for garnish
- Chopped fresh basil or parsley (optional)

Instructions
1. Add diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, minced garlic, diced onion, diced carrots, and Italian seasoning into your slow cooker. Stir to combine well.
2. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the carrots are tender and the flavors have melded.
3. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the cheese tortellini and fresh spinach.
4. Cover and cook for another 20 to 30 minutes, until the tortellini is tender and the spinach is wilted.
5. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
6. Serve hot, garnished with freshly grated parmesan cheese, chopped basil or parsley, and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Notes
Use fresh or frozen tortellini based on what you have—no need to thaw frozen tortellini first.
For extra richness, stir in a splash of cream during the final 10 minutes of cooking.
This soup is best enjoyed the day it’s made, as tortellini can soften with longer storage.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
