This is another delicous soup recipe from my grammy.  Our family loves soups. 

Cheese Tortellini Soup
6 cups water
6 beef boulion cubes
6 oz tomato paste
2 Tblsp basil
pepper to taste
1 Tblsp crushed garlic
1/2 # bacon cut up
1 green onion stalk (green part only)
1 cup chopped zucchini
1 cup chopped yellow squash
2 pkg fresh cheese tortellini

Combine the first 6 ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer while you cook the bacon and green onion.  Drain the bacon and onion and add to soup pot.  Bring to a boil and then turn down to simmer.  Add the zucchini and yellow squash.  Boil slowly until tender.  Add the fresh tortellini and boil for just 3 minutes.  Serve with parmesan cheese.
