"Cheesy" Tortellini Soup

S O U P, 1,2,3, 4-minutes of prep time and you have SOUP! Great soup! Comforting soup!  Mmm...

This recipe was created by a family friend, a busy professional, taking gourmet classes in the evening.  The homework assignment:

Create a recipe that uses off-the-shelf ingredients, straight from the packaging.

And here it is, a recipe that uses ingredients straight from the package with almost no preparation.  Resulting in a "kit - soup" that will take ~4 minutes of prep time and serve 4-6.

Perfect for busy, hungry people!
