Tortellini Soup

2 cans stewed tomatoes
1 carton Kitchen Basics chicken stock (it's the best brand - just use it, ok??).
3 carrots, chopped
2 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp minced garlic
2+ tablespoons fresh basil (dried if you must - use less)
salt & pepper to taste
1/2 package frozen green beans
1 pkg refrigerated cheese tortellini
Parmesan cheese

Combine tomatoes, chicken stock, carrots, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, & basil in stock pot or crock pot until carrots are tender. Add green beans and tortellini and simmer for a few minutes until pasta is done. Serve immediately and garnish with parmesan cheese.

*Don't even think about buying cheap tortellini. They are the star of this dish, so get some good ones! You can use frozen, too. I think the refrigerated ones hold up a little better.
