This is a variation of a dish I found called "Triple Tomato Soup" it called for sun dried tomatoes and didn't include the tortellini. I can't find the original anymore but I've changed it so much I don't think it matters too much.
This is a great fresh dish and could be done any number of ways. I just used what I had on hand. Hope you enjoy!
