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!
Hi Missy, some great adaptations to the recipe, so glad you enjoyed it.
Can this be done in the slow cooker?
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.
What is the serving size for Hearty Tortellini Soup? I appreciate it when nutrition facts are posted on recipes but a lot of times the serving size is left out.
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.
