Chicken Tortellini Soup

Nothing like a nice bowl of comfort for a rough and cold day. This soup came out tasting like chicken noodle but, BETTER! I had to substitute the tortellini for mini ravioli's because well that's that what I had and used garlic in place of onion. It still come put pretty darn good and it gave me enough time to make a homemade apple pie for dessert!
