Tomato Basil Tortellini Soup image

When my husband and kids tried this soup, they all had to have seconds. Now they're happy anytime I put it on the table. Sometimes I include cooked, crumbled bacon and serve it with mozzarella cheese. -Christina Addison, Blanchester, Ohio

I'm not a huge fan of tortellini, but this soup was still really good. The broth was flavorful and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. I would definitely make it again, but I would probably use a different type of pasta.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I followed the recipe exactly, but the broth just didn't thicken up. Maybe I didn't cook it long enough?

This was the perfect soup for a cold winter day! It was warm and comforting, and the flavors were spot-on. I especially liked the addition of the pesto, which gave the soup a nice depth of flavor.

I thought this soup was just okay. The broth was a bit bland for my taste, and the tortellini were a little overcooked. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some more spices or herbs.

This soup was a hit with my family! The kids loved the tortellini and veggies, and I appreciated the healthy ingredients. It was also really easy to make, which is always a bonus. I will definitely be adding this soup to my regular rotation.

This soup was incredibly flavorful and hearty! The tortellini cooked perfectly, and the combination of tomatoes, basil, and Parmesan cheese created a rich and satisfying broth. I also loved the addition of the spinach, which added a nice pop of color
