Ingredients:
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 (9-ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and black pepper, to taste
4 slices of bread (for garlic toast bites)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (for garnish)
Directions:
In your slow cooker, add crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, onion, garlic, basil, oregano, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir to mix well.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together.
While the soup cooks, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place bread slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic powder. Bake for about 10 minutes until golden and crispy. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
After the base has cooked, stir in heavy cream and cheese tortellini. Continue cooking on high for 20–30 minutes until tortellini is tender.
Season with salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls, top with shredded cheddar cheese, and garnish with Parmesan. Serve with crispy garlic toast bites on the side.
