Delicious! Use can use the mini ravioli too. I prefer them because they are smaller and don't dominate the dish. I always use Better Than Bouillon chicken broth paste (no MSG). It is delicious in most all my soups. They also have beef, ham, mushroom and vegetarian broths just to name a few.

Just a note. If you're going to make this recipe, make sure you use FRESH tortellini and not the pasta you can get from the pasta aisle. I did that and it just didn't turn out as nice!

I agree about the tomato. This is one of my favorite simple recipes, but I add a can of spicy tomatoes for a little kick!
