MMMMMMMM! I made this after copying from the same magazine. I used a can of fire roasted tomatos and grilled up some turkey italian sausage, sliced it and threw that in too. Very hardy. I did make one mistake though...because I made this the night before and warmed it back up the tortellini were over cooked (Duh). So next time if I make it ahead I won't put the tortellini in until I'm rewarming the soup. Thanks for a super easy go-to recipe. Served with some warm focaccia bread and made a great meal out of it.
