Tomato Tortellini Soup

This is a quick and hearty soup that someone on my WW message board shared. I have made it a couple of times and 1 batch makes more than enough for lunch for the week at work. I use the Healthy Choice variety of Campbell's Tomato Soup...it is a bit lower in sodium.

2-14oz. cans of chicken broth
1-9oz. package refrigerated tortellini of your choice
1/2 of 8oz. tub of cream cheese with chives and onions
1-10oz. can condensed tomato soup
fresh chives, chopped

In a medium saucepan, bring broth to a boil. Add tortellini, reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered for 5 minutes. In a bowl, whisk 1/3 C. of the hot broth into the cream cheese until smooth. Return all to the saucepan along with tomato soup. Heat through. Sprinkle with chives before serving.

I made this again on 4/25/10 and added a can of diced tomatoes (plain, no extra spices or green chiles added) and 1 1/2 C. of frozen corn to the recipe to bolster the veggies.
