This should be renamed "Chickarina soup." I make it every winter. I used plain ground chicken for the meatballs w/o sausage. The recipe to make the meatballs was almost identical to my regular Italian meatballs, parm, parsley, garlic,onion, S&P, but I left out the egg bc my granddaughter is allergic. It holds together well without it bc I added bread crumbs. I used a tiny ice cream scoop to make mini meatballs. I used only 2 1/2 quarts of liquid as well. Sometimes I roll out dumplings and add them to this soup in place of the tortellini, a small package by the way is plenty. It's all good; even rice works. Per another reviewer's problem, cook tortellini, rice, whatever, in advance in plain water, then add it soup at end so it doesn't soak up too much soup liquid. On a rainy day or anyday, it makes a hearty, comforting meal.

I made this last night and for the most part it turned out great. I used the freshest items I could get and the flavor was very good. The only thing I would sayt was that 2 lbs of tortellini is WAY too much for 3qts of liquid. And I didn't use all 32oz. The tortellini I bought came in 10oz packs so I bought 3. I was still 2oz shy of a full two pounds. Good thing too. Because when those three packs absorbed the stock, there was hardly room for the meatballs. My pot was plenty big enough to hold all the liquid. It was a big pasta/stock pot.

If/when I make this again. I'm going to eyeball the pasta portion. I'll start with 10oz and gradually add enough to where I think I'll get an even distribution per serving. I think somewhere around a pound of tortellini for 3qts of stock is more realistic. Unless there are packs where they are much smaller.

Very good, I added whole kernel corn because it is my favorite veggie.

I've actually made this dish several times already in the past few years. Every time i make it, its always gone!!!! I followed the recipe but made one change. I added a little red pepper flakes t1o the chicken meatballs for a little spice and it turned out great I'll continue to make for me and my family. Its also good during the holidays when you have a few family members feeling under the weather.

Thank you Tyler Florence!!!!

This soup is delicious! However, I keep the tortellini separately and add to bowls as I serve them!

My mouth was watering as I watched Tyler make this soup, so I had to try it. I enjoyed it, except for the meatballs. I thought the apple sausage had a strange flavor... I think it was nutmeg...it was a little gross. Next time I will make this with regular chicken sausage with cheese and parsley : I added a little bread crumbs to the meatballs to hold them together and they kept their shape nicely :

This soup really is delicious, and more hearty than the traditional variety. For anyone having trouble with the meatballs falling apart, the recipe in his cookbook is a little different: it calls for 4 links (also has a serving count of 4-6 with a 1/2 cup breadcrumbs and a 1/2 cup whole milk, which aren't listed here. I have had no trouble with my meatballs from that recipe, so I hope this helps. :

This was delicious. And also some of the easiest meatballs to make. I skipped the parsley stems and peppercorns - just used ground pepper. Absolutely amazing. And it makes a ton too, so I'll get to enjoy this over and over!
