Tortellini Tomato Soup

This is what we had for dinner tonight and it was so good! This is a great recipe if you need a quick meal. I had no idea what I was making for dinner half an hour before my husband would be home from work. I found this recipe and I was done with dinner with time to spare by the time he got home. It was so easy and so tasty!! Thanks so much to Favorite Family Recipes for this wonderful soup!! Visit their website at http://www.favfamilyrecipes.com/

1 pkg. (9oz) refrigerated cheese tortellini

2 cans (10oz) Campbell's tomato soup

2 c. chicken broth

2 c. milk

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp dried basil

salt and pepper to taste
