I loved this recipe and so did my family. My husband wants me to make this a weekly recipe and he's very picky. It really was one of the best.

This was great. My husband, who is not a soup lover, told me that I need to make this more often. I didn't have tortellini's so I used 1/2 pound of bow tie pasta instead, diced tomatoes instead of fresh, and 4 links of italian sausage instead of 1 because it didn't sound like enough. Very good. Thanks

This was much easier to pull together than I originally thought it would be. My family (kids included) loved it. It was a great way to sneak some veggies in to the mix.

Very good recipe. I had drop-in company while I was making this, so doctored up it up a bit to increase the quantity and it was great. Leftovers reheated well.

Wonderful soup! I used cajun spiced ground venison because I don't like sausage. We will definitely make this again. Thanks for the great recipe!

This was great! I did use 12 oz. of sausage (3.5 just didn't seem enough) and I was glad that I did. Other than that, it was perfect and I will gladly make it again!

Wow! I used hot turkey sausage(2 links), fresh spinich torn, one can white beans drained instead of zucchini and green pepper.. Simmered two hours, added tortellini, 20 minutes later dinner was done. Next time i will either 1/2 or leave out wine, don't think it added that much to flavor. Did not improve as a leftover, very surprising. Very filling soup, good dinner.

This is absolutely the best soup ever. I use beef consumme instead of beef broth. I makes it a bit more flavorable. Everyone who has tried this has asked me for the recipe. Five stars for this is not enough!

broth was delicious.... but I don't think that the tortellini goes too well with it, maybe some other type of pasta.

Thank you! This soup was very good. I doubled the recipe so we could have left-overs the next day. I did add extra tortellini and extra seasoning, added a can of white beans, omitted the zucchini (didn't have any), used canned Italian stewed tomatoes, and added only half a green pepper. Very hearty. Will be making again this winter! Thanks again Tim!

This was an easy healthy recipe. My family loved it. It was hearty and comforting. It fit the need on a very busy night. Served with a salad it is definitely a keeper.

This soup was really good. Don't omit the wine- this adds so much delicious flavor that you can't get from anything else. We used chicken italian sausage, and cut it up very small. I noted that the recipe states 3.5 oz of sausage, but I used a 14oz package of italian sausage- and it was perfect.

This is indeed really, really good! I am a stickler for following a recipe to the letter the first time (I do not understand how people can trash a recipe and then go on at length about what they did or didn't do - it just isn't fair!)and I wouldn't change a thing. Maybe add some fresh spinach or mushrooms? Thanks Tim for an excellent addition to my recipe box!

excellent soup! i added a few cups of extra water because it was so savory (and i wanted more!) it didn't dilute the flavor too much at all. highly recommended.

This soup is absolutely excellent! I had it at a friend's house and shortly after she gave me the recipe I found it on this site. I used turkey Italian Sausage because I prefer it and I left out the green pepper. If you plan to freeze any of it or make it ahead, don't add the tortellini until you're ready to serve it, as it becomes soggy.

This is definitely a five star recipe. My husband raved about it! I did substitute two cans diced tomates with the juice in place of the tomatoes. I also omitted the wine and carrots.
