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.
This recipe is SO GOOD!! I made it as described except I subbed red wine for white since I didnt have red in the house. Absolutely delicious!!!! So savoury and lots of flavour! My very picky fiance loved it too! Thank you for this recipe 🙂
So glad you enjoyed the recipe Jenna, it is one of my family’s favourites.
can the wine be left out will not use any form of alcohol do not really like parmesan either please reply to my email I am a senior and not very good with computers thank you
yes Dorothy, you can omit the wine and parmesan.
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!
Thanks Jayne, its a great soup recipe to add your own flare to.
This was so good . Husband said i can make it everyday. Most of my picky kids liked it too.
that is awesome Jane. This soup is a hit with my husband as well!
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!
Thank you Tom, its one of my family’s favourites.
This meal is absolutely delicious!!! Had some left over that I had put into the freezer…. still tasted great! Buying ingredients to make it again!!
Thank you so much Sue.
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!
How much would two links of sausage be? I hope that doesn’t sound dumb. Just wondering approx how many grams
Totally agree! I omitted the kidney beans and zucchini. I added fresh broccoli and red peppers. Also, used hot sausage for a little spice to it. Great!
Hi Shelby, Italian sausage links can vary, but approximately 85 grams per link.
