Add Tomatoes and Broth: In your slow cooker, pour in the crushed tomatoes and broth.
Add Garlic and Seasonings: Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, adjusting to your preferred spice level.
Step 2: Slow Cook
Set the Slow Cooker: Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. This allows the tomatoes and garlic to infuse together and create a flavorful base.
Step 3: Add Cream and Tortellini
Stir in Cream and Milk: About 30 minutes before serving, add the heavy cream and milk. Stir well to ensure the creaminess is evenly mixed into the soup.
Add the Tortellini: Gently stir in the tortellini, making sure they’re fully submerged. Continue cooking on low for another 30 minutes or until the tortellini are tender and cooked through.
