2. Add both cans of tomato, vegetable stock, basil and oregano. Bring to a simmer. 
3. With an immersion blender, blend ingredients and add Greek yogurt. I brought my yogurt to room temperature to prevent separation.
4. At this point bring the soup back to a slow boil and add squash and tortellini. Bring back down to a simmer for 15-20 minutes.
5. Before serving sprinkle with a generous amount of fresh parsley and parmesan.
