Roasted Red Pepper Soup

During Lent I try to make some meat free soups for Friday lunches.  The recipe here calls for chicken broth but I would just swap it out for vegetable broth.

2 16oz. jars roasted red peppers
2 14.5oz cans chicken broth
1 8oz. package sliced fresh mushrooms
1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
2 9oz. packages cheese tortellini

Place roasted red peppers in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

In a large saucepan, mix roasted red peppers, chicken broth, and mushrooms. Season with basil, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper.  Bring the mixture to a boil.  Stir in toretellini, and continue cooking for 8 to 10 minutes, or until pasta is al dente.
