Tortellini Vegetable Soup

"From BHG.com. The original recipe suggests using the broccoli-cauliflower-carrot mixed vegetables. I couldn't find that mix so I used 1 cup of a broccoli-cauliflower mix and 1 cup of a carrots-corn-peas-lima bean-green bean mix. If you are using a shelf-stable tortellini (like Barilla) add an extra cup of liquid, either chicken broth or water. If you are using refrigerated or frozen tortellini, the amounts below should be satisfactory but use more if you like."

  1. I love how easy this soup is to make. We all loved it, and I'll definitely make it again, especially when time is an issue, but I want to make filling, hot meal. I used 9 oz refrigerated tortellini, 2.5 cups frozen broccoli, cauliflaur, carrot mix and two 14.5 oz cans reduced-sodium chicken broth. This would be good with almost any vegetable combination. Next time I'll add some fresh garlic. I served this with store-bought crusty olive oil and rosemary baked bread. The whole meal was fabulous!
     
  2. Tasty, easy and filling. I made this with the broccoli, cauliflower, carrot mix. The only thing I added was garlic. I enjoyed this for lunch today and I'll make it again. Thanx for sharing.
     
  3. I use homemade beef broth, tortellini,diced tomatoes,italian seasoning, and frozen peas. Easy and tastes great. Even my 7 year old likes it.
     
  4. Great fast soup recipe...ran across it while recipezaar surfing...realized I had all the ingredients at home so made a fast soup for dinner. Being my better half had been up all night snowplowing he really appreciated having a hot homemade soup for dinner.

I moved from Ohio to the West Coast about 4 years ago and I currently work as an assistant at an intellectual property law firm in Silicon Valley. I love to cook and experiment in the kitchen. I'm not much of baker, though, since I hate to measure my ingredients. Like most everyone else these days, I am always on the lookout for low-calorie recipes. I recently married and I try to cook dinner for my husband and I at least 6 times a week, which he heartily supports. When I'm not cooking or browsing through cookbooks from the library or second-hand store, I can usually be found knitting something, playing video games with DH, or just watching tv. I also love exploring the great outdoors, whether it be hiking, kayaking, biking, or just doing a little sightseeing around town. I am finishing up a paralegal certificate at the community college and am now considering preparation for law school. The crockpot recipes here definitely helped us stay fed while I was taking night classes! <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif"> "My motivation to cook is that I'm always hungry." -Jacques Pepin
