Chicken Vegetable and Tortellini soup

My old good friend Trenna showed me how to make this soup a few years ago. I really don't follow a recipe, just go off smell and taste. I guess it would be something like...

2-3 chicken breasts (or a whole chicken) boiled.
4 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 Italian zucchini, chopped
1 onion, chopped
4 sun dried tomatoes
2 bay leaves (remove after cooked)
1/2 tsp. chopped fresh basil
1/2 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary
salt and pepper to taste
1 pkg. fresh cheese and spinach tortellini

Cook the chicken in pot of water. Do not drain, but cut up the chicken and put back in pot.
Add sliced carrot and onion. Let boil. Add zucchini, sun dried tomatoes, bay leaves and spices.
Let it boil. remove bay leaves and add tortellini. When tortellini is cooked, serve.

I always like to serve this with homemade rolls. Enjoy!
