This soup is WONDERFUL! I am a fan of cream based soups, but decided to make this since I had some 3 cheese tortellini in the freezer my kids have been begging me to use. I considered cutting the recipe in half since there were only 4 of us having it for lunch: I'm so glad I didn't. My children all agreed that it deserved more then 5 stars (that's something I normally only hear if it is junk food related). My one daughter who doesn't like spicy food at all, would take a bite, comment about the spice, sip some water and then take another bite...she managed to do that through 3 bowls of soup! This will be on our table quite often.

Loved the asiago cheese in this with the spinach and tortellinis. I subbed extra broth for the water and used 3-cheese tortellini. I really liked the spinach and the punch of heat from the cayenne and crushed red pepper flakes. As a personal preference I would cut down on the amount of sun-dried tomatoes next time. We served this with some fresh sourdough, yum! Made for the PRMR tag game.

Wonderful. I made a few substitutions but followed the basic recipe. I added sliced baby bella mushrooms that I had left over and sauteed them with the onions. Insead of sundried tomatoes (which I do not like) I added a can of petite diced tomatoes and their juice and halved the hot water. I also tossed in a parm-regg cheese rind I was saving for making soup. I also added artichoke hearts (quartered) when I added the pasta. It was AWESOME! This was so easy to make and I will definitely make it again.

Yum! I halved this recipe and made as directed except that I used dried tricolor tortellini and used oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes (but pressed them well with a paper towel to get the oil out). I enjoyed the flavor that the sun-dried tomatoes imparted to this dish, but would definitely only use fresh pasta next time! We loved this. Spicy, simple, and good. Thanks Lainey for another keeper. Made for ZWT4.
