Yum! Probably needs a little more stock than the recipe but delicious and hearty soup.Pronounced as a "winner" by 19yo son who said "Well, you should make that again". Can't get much better than that.

Very easy and versatile. The sundried tomatoes were a nice addition. Otherwise, it was a little bland so next time I’ll add more seasoning to tweak the recipe, but overall a winner.
0 HelpfulI thought there wasn’t enough liquid so added a bit more water and maybe some Italian seasoning would have been good cause there was no seasoning other than salt and pepper , but I LOVED it regardless!
0 HelpfulWe ate all of it! Good way to get your veggies. Puréed the onions, garlic and tomatoes. Adding the sour cream made it more creamy. The yogurt went bad so had to substitute.I just love cheese tortellini.
0 HelpfulThis was tasty and pretty easy to put together, but I expected just a little more flavor with all of the awesome ingredients. Everyone in my family loved it, though, and went back for seconds. We had cheddar biscuits with our meal. This was a good solid meal, and we will make this again.
0 HelpfulI love the immersion idea, my kids are more likely to eat it that way, the 3 year old doesn't like pieces of tomato. It may be a little spicy for her, but will possibly mix in some yogurt or coconut milk for them. This is an extremely fast recipe.
