- Transfer to the crockpot.
- Add remainder of ingredients to the crockpot, except for the tortellini and kale leaves.
- Mix all together, then cover with lid.
- Cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.

Tips
- Top with grated parmesan cheese or a drizzle of olive oil for extra richness.
- One pound of loose sausage can be added to this recipe. If using sausage, it is recommended to decrease to 2 cans of beans and brown the sausage in a pan with the onions & other ingredients prior to the crockpot.
- If a creamier soup is desired, mash some of the beans against the pot and mix well (or separate and blend using an immersion blender).
- This recipe is excellent for meal prep because the flavor deepens as it is stored.
