This was indeed flavorful, but it tasted more like a sauce to me - I think I may try this again with some beef or chicken added and serve it over tortellini as a sauce rather than serve as a soup. Thanks for posting an interesting combination!

Excellent! Very simple to put together and tastes great the same day when made. It's a keeper! Thanks for sharing!

This soup was absolutely delicious! My DH took one bite and said this deserves a high rating! The only changes I made were to substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth and I threw in a bit of corn I had. It was very simple to put together and didn't take very long. I served it with garlic bread and we made a meal out of it! Thanks for sharing your recipe Vicky!

Mmmmm...Mmmmmm...Mmmmm! This soup was fabulous and was so easy. I used petite cut tomatoes with garlic and olive oil for the tomatoes and added some red pepper with the green pepper because I had some on hand. The only change I made was to make it in the crockpot. I added all the ingredients (and I used frozen tortellini straight from the freezer) except the green and red peppers and cooked on low for exactly 3 1/2 hours and it was perfect. I added the peppers and stired it up and it was a perfect after church meal to serve for company. They enjoyed it som much that they asked for the recipe! Thanks for sharing it
