Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 carrot, diced

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes

4 cups beef broth

2 teaspoons dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 (9 oz) package refrigerated cheese tortellini

2 cups fresh spinach

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Brown the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat and transfer the beef to the slow cooker.

    Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion, garlic, carrot, and bell pepper. Cook until they are softened, about 5 minutes. Then, add them to the slow cooker with the ground beef.

      Add Tomatoes and Broth: Stir in the crushed tomatoes and beef broth into the slow cooker. Add dried basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well.

        Slow Cook: Set the slow cooker on low and allow to cook for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.

          Cook Tortellini: About 30 minutes before serving, add the refrigerated cheese tortellini to the soup and stir. Let cook until the tortellini is tender.

            Incorporate Spinach: Stir in the fresh spinach just a few minutes before serving, allowing it to wilt.

              Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, topping each with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves for garnish.
