Totellinini Soup

I made this soup awhile back. I had started it and then left a message for Dean when he got home to have some soup. He saw the tortellini in the fridge... and drained it, not realizing when I said "soup" I meant "soup" so he had just the pasta part, and for some reason wasn't a big fan of this dish until I made it again for him.... with the liquid. :-)
