  Quick & delicious

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  This is incredibly EASY and so good. Tastes like you ordered it in a restaurant and yet it's completely worry free. I like... to add spinach for extra nutrition, but otherwise I don't do anything special. It's good made with vegetable broth rather than chicken broth, too. The only thing is that it's not so good the next day because the tortellini gets a little bloated, so I usually only add as much as will be eaten at once, and then add more pasta when I eat it the next time. Good enough to serve to company!Read more

  Make it your own

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I have been making something like this for quite some time. What I love about it is you can totally make it your own, using... whatever additional ingredients you have on hand. I usually add aome garlic, spinach and mozzarella cheese. Not only does it taste great but it's really pretty in the bowl. Excellent when served with garlic toast.Read more

  simple base for a tasty easy soup

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  i had to state that i really think that giada meant for this to be an easy base for a simple go-to soup when you need a quick... yummy warm meal. i just made it just as she said and it was still good, not bland as some have said- how is chicken stock bland?? people need to stop thinking you need a bunch of ingredients for everything. i think you are supposed to add what you wish into it- i ended up adding some garlic and crushed red pepper since i had some sitting around. i wouldve added spinach but i dont have any. as for the person giving her a hard time for it not being authentic, i definitely think that giada knows that. she wrote this recipe as a simple and fast meal for people who dont have the time to put together something complicatedl, like one with homemade chicken stock and tortellinis. all in all i think this is a really good recipe that you can put your own twist in however you like or just eat it how she has stated. i still love you giada!!Read more

  Delicious!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I'm eating this soup as I type and I must say I'm really pleased! I'm glad I read the reviews first, as I made some minor... changes. First, I used organic free range chicken broth and Trader Joe's cheese tortellini. I added garlic salt, pepper, thyme, and a pinch of sweet paprika to the broth and the flavor is incredible. A definite must make when you're feeling a little lazy.Read more

  Simple and easy done right!

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  I've made this dish for my family dozens of times, and they still request it regularly. I love it because it's extremely... easy, and full of flavor. I do recommend, in the absence of homemade chicken broth... to use a good store-bought chicken STOCK. Stock adds some richness and depth to the soup (versus broth.) I've used a variety of differnt tortellini's (cheese, mushroom, veal, etc.) but my family is partial to the cheese version. The italian parsley is a MUST... and really freshens (and lightens-up) the flavor. As an alternative to the parmesean crisps, try mozzerella panini, with a basil leaf in each panini... (in a panini press.) Or... homemade basil pesto with/in the mozzerella panini... Good eating!!! Read more

  Needs a few adjustments

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  Although this recipe is rather boring with just these simple ingredients, with a few extra steps its amazing! The point of... this soup is to be as easy as possible and that it is. I have made it many times for many people and I absolutely love it. The first thing I did was add pesto towards the end, it gives this soup an incredible flavor. I also cook onions in a little oil before adding the broth. I like a little spice so I added some chili flakes when sauteing the onions. Add a good amount of pepper and this soup is to die for. Also instead of cheese tortellini I buy the package of herb tortellini in the boxed pasta section. It's amazing with just a few extra touches!Read more
