Tomato Chicken Tortellini Soup

Recipe courtesy of mrs.jen&dave

*1 quart chicken stock (you can use veg. stock instead)
*1 can tomato soup
*1 can cannelini beans, rinsed
*1 pkg. refrigerated cheese tortellini (you can use other pasta... this is just what we usually use)
*cooked chicken breast, cubed (we've used the Perdu shortcuts before and they worked great)
*any other kinds of veggies: green beans, carrots, etc.
*garlic-- either some crushed garlic or some garlic powder, to your taste
*basil--a sprinkling over the pot to your liking
*1 bay leaf

In a large pot, bring the chicken stock and can of tomato soup to a boil, stirring to combine. Add in the beans, tortellini, chicken, veggies, and any herbs and spices you'd like to use. Add in a bay leaf, simmer for about 20-30 min. so that the flavors can combine. Before you serve, remove the bay leaf.
