Wonderful tasting, quick and simple recipe. I followed the recipe pretty much except for adding some salt and pepper and an extra package of tortellini (I used herbed chicken tortellini from Aldi). I then added more broth, tomato juice and cream until it was a consistency I was satisfied with. Everyone in my family of six thought it was great- definitely a keeper! -
This recipe is so yummy. I usually make two batches at once because everyone loves it so much. The only changes I make is I double the amount of tortellinis and add some italian sausage. -
My family can't get enough of this recipe! We have it at least every other week. Even my picky 4 year old eater loves it. I've shared it with a few people and they all rave about it. I don't normally like tomatoes or tomato soup but this is fantastic! We use an entire bag of frozen tortellini though and make it extra pasta-y. We think it's even better the second (or third) day! I wish it wasn't so thick though the next day and I'm considering using just cream instead of heavy cream. -
Personally, I loved this soup but my husband said he wished it were creamier so I took both opinions into consideration when rating this. No question this was a great soup though! -
This was so delicious!! Made just as posted except I used fresh basil. I will be making this again!!! Simple to make the only hard part was waiting for it to be done!! ;) Made for Fall PAC 09'
