Then add beef, salt and pepper and garlic powder and stir and cook until beef is browned.
Drain off some of the grease if necessary, but not too much.
I like the flavor it adds!
Add broth, tomatoes, the cans of beans (dont drain them) and cumin.
Rapidly boil mixture until liquid is reduced by half.
Add cooked tortellini and keep warm until ready to serve.
Garnish with sour cream and shredded cheese if youd like.
