    Pure comfort food! This recipe for Hearty Tortellini Soup is one of my family's favorite recipes. A soup recipe that is so hearty it is perfect to serve as a main course.  So tasty, you will love it with fresh bread and a simple salad. A recipe that can be easily adapted by adding your favourite vegetables. If you prefer a more spicy soup use hot Italian sausage instead of mild.

      This was really good! For personal and family tastes, I used chicken and white beans, and a can of italian diced tomatoes. I also added some yellow squash because I had some that needed to be used. Other than those changes, I followed the recipe exactly and the flavor was out of this world. It's the first time I've used real wine in a recipe and I don't think I'll ever substitute something else when a recipe calls for it. This is definitely a keeper! Thank you for sharing!

        Yes Kristen, but add the tortellini later or it will be overcooked. I haven't made it in the slow cooker yet, so I'm just guessing, add tortellini 1/2 hour before serving.

      Hi Susan, the program I use doesn't let me input serving size on the nutritional facts, but as per recipe there would be 10 generous servings of this soup.

      I made this for dinner last night and we love it. I did make a couple of minor changes. I used sweet Italian sausage (personal preference.) I didn't use the cabbage or spinach. I thought I had cabbage but didn't and my husband won't eat spinach. This recipe made enough for 3 meals for the 2 of us and I am having a bowl right now for brunch. Try it!

      My daughter's friend sent her this recipe and she asked me to make it for dinner while visiting her family up north. I love to cook and must say there is a bit of work putting this soup together but it is just about the best soup I've ever made! SO SO tasty and hearty. Warms the soul! Thanks so much!

        Sue--how did freezing go? I have lots left over from making this on Monday (just the two of us, I should have split the recipe). I loved it, and so did my husband, so I don't want it to go to waste.

        Thanks!

      I’ve made this twice now. So good. I do make this in my Dutch oven pot and I cook mine a little longer before adding the tortellini. But I don’t like cabbage all that much but when you cook it longer the cabbage kind of disappears into the soup. I do add beef bullion because I don’t have wine on hand. It’s even great without tortellini.

        Thank you Rachel, it is a very hardy soup. Freezes well without the tortellini. I just add the tortellini when I reheat it.

      Great recipe! I have made this several times. 1st time followed the recipe exactly (minus the beans), and it turned out awesome. I have also made it with sausage tortellini and omitted the sausage, also delicious! Definitely a favourite at our house!

      This is my absolute favorite soup. I add meat balls and use spicy Italian sausage instead of hamburger. That’s all I had available and have come to adore it prepared that way. So many vegetables it’s just awesome. Thanks for sharing this delicious meal!

        Yes Gwen, you can freeze this soup, but do so with out adding the tortellini. I find it gets too mushy. Simply add the tortellini when you re-heat it.

      I omitted the sausage and added much more stock to stretch this recipe since it is more of a stew/soup. Everyone loves it, but once they see the ingredient list, they don't want to make it. It's a daunting list but oh so worth it! And of course, I double it! Absolutely wonderful.

        As stated above, the ingredient list is a bit daunting. However, it is delicious!!!! I subbed red and green peppers for the cabbage, mushrooms for the zucchini. And oh my goodness is it good! Just do it!

      Have cooked a very similar recipe for years, we call it Lasagna soup. The variations are endless really. It's one of the hardiest recipes for winter days when you need warmed up. I love the picture, and what drew me to take a peak at the ingredients. Thank you for sharing.

      Made this last night..........soooo tasty....I don't like cabbage but it gave a sweet flavor.
      Only used ground beef and meatballs...just enough beef flavor. Also skipped the kidney beans.
      Not enough room in my pot....very hearty.
