Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup

Funny story-This mug that my soup is photographed in is know in my house as Mom’s Hot Chocolate Bowl.  It really is more of a small bowl than a mug and I do often drink hot chocolate from it.  So when I put something else like soup in this mug, my family was astonished.  However, I have since gone back filling it with hot chocolate.

As much as I love hot chocolate, I love soup on a cold night for dinner.  {Of course its most likely to be followed by a small bowl of hot chocolate sometime later that evening, but I still love soup.}  This particular soup is a great week night throw it together with out a whole lot of effort.  Seriously, the most difficult part of this recipe is having to use the can opener.  So, there is no excuses not to try this one.  It is quick and easy for a cold winter night.
