Well, the only kind of "fire roasted tomatoes" I could find were Rotels (with green chiles). Thank heavens I only used 1 can of those, since they added QUITE a kick! A little too much for my taste - took away from the other flavors. My fault - next time, no heat.

I did puree the mixture with hand blender and I definitely like it that way.

Had a 12 oz. package of frozen cheese tortellini, which didn't seem to be enough for that amount of liquid. I pre-cooked the tortellini.

Will make it again with either Muir Glen fire roasted tomatoes or just regular diced tomatoes.
