This is a great, flavorful vegetable soup, which is very hearty with the addition of the tortellini. I like to throw the onion carrots and squash in the food processor to get them really small- my husband likes it chunkier. I also think it's a little more flavorful to use vegetable broth instead of water.

Steps:
- cover sun-dried tomatoes with hot water, let stand till needed.
- Heat oil in large soup pot, add onion and carrot and saute over medium heat, covered, stirring occasionoally until onion is golden.
- Wash and trim swiss chard off of ribs, cut into 1/2 in by 2 in shreds. Place in another large pot, steam 5-7 minutes, until limp and bright green (I sometimes skip this part and just let it cook in the soup).

- Add the yellow squash , dill and tortellini and simmer 10 more minutes until they are done.
- Stir in swiss chard, season with salt and pepper (can add more water if it seems too crowded).
