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.
