Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup

I didn't really care for this quick, throw-together soup (I thought it tasted a lot like the canned tomato soup used in the recipe), but the kids and Brad did. Since I'm trying to be genuine about my successes and failures on this recipe blog, I've got to include them all. And, who knows, this might be your very favorite soup!

Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup
1 package (9 ounces) refrigerated cheese tortellini (I used whole wheat)
2 cans condensed tomato soup
2 cups water
2 cups milk
2 cups half-and-half
1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
3 teaspoons (3 cubes) chicken bouillon
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 bunch fresh basil, chopped
salt & pepper
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Additional shredded Parmesan cheese, optional

Cook tortellini according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a stockpot, combine the soup, water, milk, cream, tomatoes and seasonings. Heat through, stirring frequently. Taste to adjust seasoning (I ended up adding a lot of coarse salt!) Drain tortellini; carefully add to soup. Stir in cheese and basil. Sprinkle each serving with additional cheese if desired.
