November 18, 2018 at 4:17 pmThis 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!

November 19, 2018 at 1:54 pmHi Missy, some great adaptations to the recipe, so glad you enjoyed it.

November 28, 2018 at 5:15 pmCan this be done in the slow cooker?
Laureen King says
December 2, 2018 at 4:15 amYes 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.

December 5, 2018 at 6:19 amWhat 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.
Laureen King says
December 6, 2018 at 5:41 amHi 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.

March 22, 2019 at 8:00 amI 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!

March 23, 2019 at 6:29 pmThanks Jayne, its a great soup recipe to add your own flare to.

December 19, 2018 at 10:22 amHow much would two links of sausage be? I hope that doesn’t sound dumb. Just wondering approx how many grams
Judith says
March 8, 2019 at 1:31 pmTotally 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!
Laureen King says
December 20, 2018 at 8:07 amHi Shelby, Italian sausage links can vary, but approximately 85 grams per link.
