Veggie Tortellini Soup

I've started a new cookbook! This time I'm going into Pioneer Woman's Come and Get It! book.
I got this book for Christmas, and easily found dozens of recipes I want to try. Fun fact about my culinary history, when I was first out on my own trying to learn how to cook, I remember watching a Pioneer Woman episode, seeing a recipe I knew I could make and successfully made it.
That recipe was egg in the hole, this one is veggie tortellini soup.

Ingredients
8 cups of vegetable or chicken broth

Pre-cream mixture

1 6 oz can of tomato paste
1 10 ounce package of frozen mixed veggies
1 9 oz package of fresh cheese tortellini
1/2 cup of heavy cream
1/2 tsp of parsley flakes
1/2 tsp of dried basil

Directions
In a medium pot, bring the broth of a simmer, over medium heat.
Add the tomato paste, and stir until it is well combined.
Add the frozen veggies and return to liquid to a strong simmer.
Add the tortellini and cook until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the heavy cream and stir until everything is combined.
Top with parsley basil and salt and pepper to taste.

Changes I Made!
I would love for veggie mixes to not have peas in them! Despite that I do enjoy this recipe.
I cooked my tortellini by package directions.
Right before serving, I also dashed some Parmesan cheese on this.

This recipe is from The Pioneer Woman: Come and Get It!
