Chicken Tortellini Soup

I had a leftover chicken carcass, so i boiled it for an hour to start the chicken broth base.  I added chicken bullion (i use the Better than Bullion paste) to make more flavorful.  I added two cans of garlic and onion diced tomatoes and a large zucchini cubed.  Boiled the zucchini in the broth until it was soft. In a separate pot, cook tortellini for two minutes and drain.  Add to soup.  Serve with bread.
