You will need:
(1) 26oz. can of tomato soup
(1) 12 oz. can diced tomatoes
(1) 12 oz. can chicken, veg., or beef stock, depending if you use turkey, vegetarian, or sausage soup, respectably.
1 lb. ground turkey or sausage (I used turkey.) ... you can also just omit this entirely.
1/2 large onion
a few green peppers (or spinach, if you want the vitamin K and great taste)
a few carrots
spices, garlic
dried or "fresh" tortellini
Brown up the meat, onion and some minced garlic in the pot you intend to cook the soup in.
Add in the broth/stock, tomatoes and tomato soup, and bring to a low boil - reduce to a simmer.
Chop up the veggies and toss those in.
Spice it up. I used a little salt, a good deal of pepper, some red pepper, thyme, oregano, and a little corrianer, however you spell that. I also stuck in a bay leaf. You could put some dried basil in now, but I have some fresh stuff I'll add in with the pasta.
Simmer for about 30 minutes (cover it if you think it's getting thick) if you aren't going to eat it until later.
I intend on sticking mine in the refrigerator... we'll have it for supper.
If you want to eat it right away, go ahead and cook it for a bit longer... or eat it. Just make sure your carrots are done.
Add the tortellini in and let them cook right before eating. If you bought the fresh kind, it will only take 2-5 minutes. You could also use gnocchi or just potatoes (which you will add in with the carrots).
This is super filling.
