After reading reviews, I decided to sub the tomato juice with crush tomatoes. I also added at 15oz can of stewed tomatoes and a beef bouillon cube (I got this from another chili recipe) . I let this simmer for two hours and was quite pleased with the results. This will be my standard chili recipe.

Based on other reviewers comments, I decided to make this with some "upgrades" off the bat. I added celery, onions, shredded carrots, fresh garlic and Italian seasoning. I also used chicken bouillon for the base. Even with those additions, I still found this somewhat bland. I also found that this needed more liquid (the tortellini soaked up some of the broth after I combined everything). I will probably make this again, but I still need to refine it a bit more.

Delicious. I used french bread, so I added one more egg and a bit more milk. I Will definitely continue to use this as my standard French Toast recipe.
