Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
Delicious! I made it exactly as described, but I was pressed for time so didn’t add cabbage, zucchini, green beans or the red beans. I’m sure it would be even better with those additions. My husband said it was his favorite soup I’ve ever made and I have made a lot. And not to toot my own horn but I’m a pretty good cook!
Clearly you did not make exactly as published.
Made this tonight. It was delicious.
Is there another tortellini that can be used in this recipe? One person does not like cheese.
Any kind tortellini will taste just fine
This recipe is so so hearty and yummy!! I’ve made it so many times I lost count. I highly recommend trying!
This is such a great good soup!
It is a must try!! I didn’t put the zucchini in, husband doesn’t like it.
Very Hardy and healthy soup and so delicious😋 this is the first time I’ve made the soup and it was simply delicious. Thank you so much for sharing.
So you don’t drain the grease from the meat after browning?
I find it usually cooks off, but for sure if there is excess drain it off.
Oh my goodness. Just made this deeelisious soup! I definitely will make this again and soo easy!
Loved it! Left out the cabbage because husband doesn’t like it. I did increase the spices by 1/2 teaspoon each. Will definitely make it again. Thanks!
Found this recipe by chance this afternoon, made one quick trip to the store and it was ready for dinner…I have now printed it!
Only a few changes, left out the cabbage but upped the other veggies and probably increased all the dried spices a bit. The only change I would make is add the zucchini a bit later and just add the tortellini for the recommended time on the package as they were a bit soft. But flavor was awesome and I will be making it often, probably adding some mushrooms next time.
My family loves this recipe. It is easily adaptable as to type of vegetables you like to use. It is a great soup for those cold, winter days!
This soup is delicious! Made it tonight and we love it! Can leftovers be frozen?
Thank you Donna, yes this soup freezes very well. I do prefer to freeze without the tortellini and add fresh tortellini when I reheat it, but it is still great freezing with the tortellini, its just a bit softer.
