Slow Cooker Beef-Tortellini Soup

This is a favourite of mine. I love the way it smells while it's brewing. I found it on the Betty Crocker App. I adjust for my tatste (sm. onion rather than lg.,omit the celery, 2-3 carrots ,some potatoes a couple hours before it's done, italian seasoning instead of basil and I add 2 cans of water )
