Tortellini Soup

I started making Tortellini Soup in college, and now it is one of the first soups I make every fall and one of the last I make every spring.  This is one of the easiest meals I can make, it goes together really quickly, and the whole family loves it.  This soup makes a meal when served with warm bread, or a fancy soup course for a meal of chicken or steak.  Tortellini Soup reheats well, and it is great for picnics and outdoor meals because it retains its heat for a long time.
