  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

  Rated: 5 stars out of 5

  Me and my Daughter made this --- It was very easy but VERY BLAND --- we did do a couple of things different--- we got... portabello mushroom tortelini and like others we crumbled the parmesan crisp up into the soup. IF ONLY I HAD READ THE REVIEWS FIRST ..... All though it was bland we will be making it but using the ideas the rest of you had. Kim and AmandaRead more

  Bland

  Rated: 1 stars out of 5

  I was excited about making this since I love tortellini and I was in the mood for some soup. However, making this turned out... to be very dissapointing. There was very little flavor, and the broth with no seasoning just didn't taste very good. I would not recommend. Read more

  Giada, as much as I love you and your cooking, this tortellini recipe discredits Italian cuisine.

  Rated: 1 stars out of 5

  As an Italian-American (and that's 100% Ital-Amer.), I was taught how to make Tortellini en Brodo for all of our family... special occasions. Giada, it is a dis-service to non-Italians to recommend using store-bought Tortellini and store-bought canned chicken broth to prepare this very cherished heritage dish. There is absolutely no comparison to the home-made, hand-made tortellini and the home-made brodo (broth). Folks will come away with absolutely the wrong experience and impression of this oh-so-incredibly delicious dish! Your recipe gives non-Italians the wrong impression of blandness and lack of taste and depth of a recipe that, when made properly, is full of bursting flavors! ......I would recommend that you produce a t.v. episode in which you engage in the actual production of the authentic tortellini en brodo, which is so close to our Italian hearts. Giada, there is also a "quick" version of Italian chicken broth that our family uses in the event of an emergency during times when we cannot devote the 3 hours to making home-made chicken brodo (broth). However, we never, NEVER, purchase store-bought tortellini. Amore e' Bon Appetito', Rosalind in South Carolina, USARead more
