Tortellini Soup with Pine Nuts and Bacon

I made this soup recipe up after being inspired by Chaundelle and her tortellini soup.

20 oz Mixed Cheese Tortellini
1 cup cooked/chopped bacon pieces (I use the bagged bacon in the salad dressing aisle)
1 large handful of pine nuts
sprinkles of dried parsley
chicken stock or broth
water
olive oil
garlic (1 clove)
any other spices you love

I boil in a large stock pan about 2 cups of water and 2 cups of chicken stock. While boiling I add some sprinkles of parsley, the garlic, and sometimes Italian seasonings. When the water is fully boiling I add the tortellinis and cook according to the package.
In another grilling pan I add a tablespoon of olive oil and saute the pine nuts and heat up the bacon.
When the tortellinis are done I add the bacon/pine nut mixture and the soup is ready. You could add shredded parmesan cheese to top it off.

It's a work in progress and I change it a lot. Sometimes I add polish sausage instead of the bacon.
