Cook the hamburger in a large pot or skillet over medium heat until browned.

Drain off any excess grease from the cooked hamburger.

Transfer the cooked hamburger to a large pot or crock pot.

Add the crushed tomatoes, French onion soup, and beef consomme to the pot.

Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and fresh cheese tortellini.

Add 2 to 4 cups of water, adjusting the amount to achieve your desired stew consistency.

If cooking on the stove, bring the stew to a simmer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the tortellini are tender and heated through.

If cooking in a crock pot, cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
