Rustic Italian Tortellini Soup

March 29, 2011 by becky 3 Comments

Rustic Italian Tortellini Soup

Remember how on the last post I said Derek doesn’t like having soup more then twice a year?  Well, Derek liked this soup so much he said he wouldn’t mind having it often.  It’s my favorite soup now too.  I love the flavor of it and of course the tortellini is so good.

This recipe comes from a little pamphlet called Prize-Winning Soups & Stews. So this recipe is a prize-winning recipe! You can’t go wrong.

This is a perfect blend of soup and pasta so if you aren’t a big soup fan I bet you will love this.  Everyone was so sad when the leftovers were gone. I hope you try it!

    Yum, this does sound good. I’m not a huge fan of sausage, but I think I would like this. Thanks for sharing!

    You could make it without sausage or with ground beef. Soup is very forgiving you can usually add or take away anything.
