Wow! I found this randomly while searching for a recipe to use some leftover tortellini. This is crazy good!  And so simple. Thank you!!

This was so tasty! I used half the amount of kale because my kids aren’t a fan. I also added fresh grated Parmesan because the soup consistency wasn’t thickening up for me. I will definitely make again!

This is fancy restaurant soup! Love it! I made this about 6 months ago as written. It was so amazing and I didn’t think I’d like Kale. It did take longer to cook with the Kale. Delicious!
I made it again today but used homemade sausage/burger meatballs that I just froze yesterday since my sausage wasn’t thawed. The meatballs had garlic, onions and seasonings! 
I sautéed chopped carrots, celery and some pre chopped garlic and onion and added the flour. I used my crockpot. Added the frozen Italian meatballs, chicken stock, tomatoes, paste, carrot mixture. I added some Montreal seasoning instead of salt and pepper. I added about a teaspoon of sugar for the acidity in the tomatoes. Let it cook for about 4 hours then added the tortellini and spinach this time. The carrots were still slightly crunchy so I turned up the crockpot for an hour. Unplugged the crockpot and added half and half and a little more basil. Grilled a slice of sourdough bread with butter and garlic seasoning and Parmesan cheese. Excited for my family to try this soup tomorrow. I might need to make another batch! Kale or spinach is great in this. Thank you for the amazing recipe!! Great for company! Xxxooo

I’m glad I didn’t omit the flour because it really adds a good amount of body which screams comfort food! I added coconut milk, roasted peppers and used meat tortellini and spinach and I doubled the recipe! Family of 3 we all went for seconds and thirds! The coconut milk makes it more fatty and gives it a fresh twist! Soo soo good!

It’s fantastic! I wanted a new recipe, and started with a single batch, next time it will be a double batch! It’s delicious!

Best soup EVER!! My daughter gave me this recipe to try. It’s one of hers and my family’s favorite! Thank you!! 

Made this last night and it was PERFECT! I did add carrots and about twice as much chicken broth and tomato sauce because my packages of sausage and tortellini were larger than the recipe called for. My husband and I rarely agree on the soups we like, but this savory soup checked all the boxes for both of us. When I asked him this morning if he wanted to take some for lunch, he told me he woke up thinking about the soup. Now that is a real compliment from him!

Thanks so much for this recipe. It is a keeper and repeater!

That seems like a great idea, that’s exactly the solution I was looking for! Can’t see why it wouldn’t work
Thank you for sharing your idea! 🙂

This was absolutely amazing and will be added to my fall/winter soup rotation. I used spicy Italian sausage and also added red chili flakes to get some good heat as well as topped it with Parmesan cheese. So good. As other comments suggested, this is a recipe that can be easily manipulated to add other ingredients/veggies but I highly recommend just trying it as is first, its that good. I served it with warm, garlic rubbed crostini’s to dip in the broth.
