  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

  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

  Wonderful

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  Super easy, super light, super tasty! I keep the frozen tortellini on hand for a quick soup that is a hit with everyone! ... I've added cubed chicken breast as well with great results. Chopped fresh Italian flat leaf parsley adds color and flavor. Great recipe. Thanks Giada!Read more
