Delicious!
(Note 1): You may substitute three boneless and skinless chicken breasts. Place the chicken breasts on the bottom of the slow cooker and add the other ingredients on top. Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 7 hours. Shred the chicken once finished cooking.
(Note 2): You may use tortellini from the deli section or the frozen tortellini. If using frozen, do not thaw before adding to the soup.
