Tips:

  • Choose your tortellini carefully. Fresh tortellini will cook more quickly than dried tortellini, so adjust your cooking time accordingly.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker. If you're using a small slow cooker, you may need to cook the tortellini in batches.
  • Add some vegetables to your tortellini soup. This will make it more nutritious and flavorful. Some good options include spinach, broccoli, and carrots.
  • Season your tortellini soup to taste. You may want to add some additional salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
  • Serve your tortellini soup with a side of crusty bread or a salad.
