chicken tortellini soup

6 1/2 cups water
3 cans (10 1/2 oz each) condensed chicken broth or 2 boxes of broth
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup sliced carrots
1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
3 cloves garlic finely chopped
1 package (7 oz) dry cheese tortellini
1 box (9 oz) frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
1/4 cup grated parmesan

1. In 5 quart saucepan heat all ingredients except tortellini, broccoli and cheese to boiling. Stir in tortellini. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Stir in broccoli; simmer 5-10 minutes longer or until broccoli is crisp tender. Sprinkle each serving with cheese.

ps-this is NOT very toddler friendly as a soup (I'm sure every mother of a toddler knew that already...but just in case...), but drain off the broth, and all the little tidbits are quite toddler friendly.
