Mix broth, beans and tomatoes and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes. Add tortellinis. Then add:
1/2 cup fresh chopped basil
2 T Balsamic Vinegar
1 t salt 1/2 t fresh ground pepper.
Cook for about 20 minutes-boil. Serve and top with Parmesan cheese. TIP: Only cook enough tortellinis for 1 meal. If you have leftovers, add fresh tortellinis. They get very large and absorb most of the broth if stored as leftovers.
