Tortellini Soup

1 (26 oz) can Tomato Soup
1 sm. can mushroom pieces & juice (I use 1 C. fresh sauteed mushrooms)
1 med. can diced tomatoes w/ basil, garlic, & oregano (It comes like this in a can)
1 reg. can chicken broth
1-2 Tbsp. Mrs. Dash Tomato, basil, & garlic (red lid, you can find it at Wal-mart)
1 (8 oz.) fresh or dried tortellini
1 C. Half & Half
3 Tbsp. Real bacon pieces (optional)

Add first 5 ingredients in crock pot. Cook on high for 2 hrs. Add tortellini (if using fresh add 1 hr. before half & half), cook for another 2 hrs. on high. Add half & half and bacon bits for 1 more hr on high.

For freezer meal:
Freeze soup in a bag, Half & Half in a container or bag, & tortellini in a bag.
Thaw in fridge.

For Stovetop:
Cook soup for 20 minutes. Add tortellini. Cook for 15 minutes. Add Half & Half. Cook for another few minutes. Serve.

Not word per word, but very close.
