Excellent! It was declared "one of the best soups ever" by my partner. I modified a bit and used vege broth instead of chicken broth (we don't eat meat) and added some fresh basil at the end! A total keeper! The second time I made this I omitted the tortellini and added shrimp (we do eat seafood)-- also a total hit! Thanks, Katie!!

Just finished making these and a majority of the cookies mysteriously "vanished" from the plate...sign of a good cookie recipe! My only suggestion would be what everyone else has said: add MORE spice to the mix (pumpkin pie spice would work nicely as would some clove). I'm off to secure a few cookies for myself...

Most excellent! I must admit the first time I made this I nixed the "southwest flavors" (cilantro, chile powder, etc.) as I was after a more classic cioppino -- turned out great! I was truly impressed! Second time I completely followed the recipe -- and it was brilliant! If the fish weren't so bloody expensive I'd make it more often...*grumbles*...
