Add olive oil, onions, garlic, green pepper, red pepper, and carrots to a large pot. Stir to coat veggies with olive oil.
Sauté vegetables in olive oil over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes or until soft, stirring occasionally.

Notes
Ingredient Substitutions
This soup is very versatile, here are a few possible substitutions:
Tortellini: I think that fresh tortellini works the best in this soup! I buy the large, double packages from Costco and use half of one container (about 12 oz) in this recipe. I freeze the rest in 12 oz portions to use later! If you can't eat dairy you can substitute tortellini for any kind of pasta you like. Please note the cooking method above if you choose to use dried pasta!
Vegetable broth: Chicken broth can be used in place of vegetable broth, but then this will not be a vegetarian tortellini soup!
Veggies and beans: Feel free to substitute your favorite beans and veggies! Really the sky's the limit with what you can toss in this soup!
Minced Garlic and onions: If you have picky eaters who wouldn't love the strong flavors of onion and garlic, you can replace these ingredients with 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 1/2 tsp onion powder.
How to store tortellini soup:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
To reheat:
Simply warm the soup in the microwave or on the stovetop!
