Tomato Tortellini Soup

 I didn't take this picture. Wish I had, because it looks good!

Holy cow, this is good soup! I'm not a huge fan of tomato soup, but this was delicious. I even heated it up for lunch the next day. It's that good. A few changes that I made: I halved the recipe, because I wasn't serving 10. And, I used sausage tortellini. TRY THIS.
