Notes
You can add meat to this recipe if you want. Sausage is a great option, so is chicken or even any other ground meat. This Slow Cooker Tomato Basil Chicken Soup uses the same base recipe as this one.
You can change the cheese tortellini to any other kind of tortellini.
Instead of baby spinach, you can add baby kale or chard or any other greens that you normally like in soups.
