  1. Our family loves this soup! I lost the recipe and was so happy to find something like my original here. I add whatever veggies I have on hand. I also add extra salsa. I cook my tortellini separately and only add whatever I am sure we are going to eat, b/c I don't like mushy pasta. I like to keep a container of tortellini and a container of soup in the fridge for weekday lunches.
     
  2. By far one of my favorite soup recipes of all time. It's so simple and is excellent on a chilly night. I usually double the tortellini or my BF ends up picking them all out and keeping them for himself. Even makes excellent leftovers!
     
  3. This was indeed flavorful, but it tasted more like a sauce to me - I think I may try this again with some beef or chicken added and serve it over tortellini as a sauce rather than serve as a soup. Thanks for posting an interesting combination!
     
  4. Mmmmm...Mmmmmm...Mmmmm! This soup was fabulous and was so easy. I used petite cut tomatoes with garlic and olive oil for the tomatoes and added some red pepper with the green pepper because I had some on hand. The only change I made was to make it in the crockpot. I added all the ingredients (and I used frozen tortellini straight from the freezer) except the green and red peppers and cooked on low for exactly 3 1/2 hours and it was perfect. I added the peppers and stired it up and it was a perfect after church meal to serve for company. They enjoyed it som much that they asked for the recipe! Thanks for sharing it :)
     
  5. Excellent! Very simple to put together and tastes great the same day when made. It's a keeper! Thanks for sharing!

  1. This soup was absolutely delicious! My DH took one bite and said this deserves a high rating! The only changes I made were to substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth and I threw in a bit of corn I had. It was very simple to put together and didn't take very long. I served it with garlic bread and we made a meal out of it! Thanks for sharing your recipe Vicky!

Hello! I am a resident of WA state, and I must say I love it here.... especially where coffee flows so freely! I live with my SO, Mark, and he has lived here since 2001 (originally from San Diego, CA). We live a quiet life and enjoy just about anything outdoors. I love to travel... sometimes just to pick a spot on the map and make a weekend out of it. Since I have been here, some of my favorite places to visit are Oregon and Washington (Cle Elum, Leavenworth, Spokane, Bonney Lake, Maple Valley, Issaquah, etc). My favorite place in Seattle is Pike Place Market, even though I don't get there often. And, Mt. Rainier is a scene I often photograph. <img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u158/VickyJ_photo/rainier.jpg"> Originally, I am from Jamestown, NY home of <img src="http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/CLASS/130-120~Lucille-Ball-Posters.jpg"><img src="http://maioush.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/lucille-ball-8553.jpg"> She is loved by all that live there and the surrounding areas! Another famous person that is from the area is Natalie Merchant and former lead singer of the 10,000 Maniacs (rock band). <img src="http://photo.sing365.com/music/picture.nsf/Natalie-Merchant-photo/48256C71003578A248256926002F4F75/$file/natalie.jpg"> I think that is about it for famous people. There was a question posted in one of the forums about who I would love to have for dinner, right now. I answered God, Jesus, my mom, Grandma Lundin, Grandpa Lundin and Aunt Sig. They are my role models in life. Each has molded me into the person I am now. My fondest memories are spending Thanksgiving and Christmas-time at my Grandma's house, and the whole family around. SO MUCH good food! I lived in that small city my whole life and graduated from high school just outside of town. I have a strong restaurant background.. everything from Pizza Hut to a local italian restaurant called Vullo's. It seems, though, I have a passion for machining technology, even though I didn't go to school for that. I grew up with a local manufacturer of machine/tooling systems soldering/wiring circuit bds and assembling whole systems. That wasn't enough for me so, I went to college and obtained my AAS in Electrical Technology. The same company hired me back to work in their service dept as a technician. I had planned to go further to become an electromechanical engineer for the company, but I was laid off. I have been out of it so long, I would probably have to start over from scratch.. .that is the problem with electronics/technology.
