I like to add a touch of vanilla to my applesauce towards the end of cooking time. It makes it extra special.

I was dissappointed in this recipe. I found it much too dry. I should have followed the reviews that suggested baking it in a water bath.

Wonderful flavor, but I found it to be too thick, more like stew. The Tortellini seems to take up quite a bit of the broth. I used 2 cups of beef broth and two cups of chicken broth, plus a cup of water to make up the difference in the total of 5 cups broth. Next time I will add an additional cup or more of water as I found the broth to be plenty rich. I only used a half of a bell pepper, and since I had green beans in my garden, I added some of them. It could use more carrots. Will definitely make again.....
