I rated it a 3 the first time we made it because to me it tasted like hot dog soup. The second time at it I used a spinach and feta chicken sausage instead of a muchroom chicken sausage, Tapatillo hot sauce instead of Chalula,a spinach and parmesan torellini instead of 3 cheese, double mushrooms and only 1 tbsp of hot sauce. Now my husband and I love this recipe.

I am not a huge soup fan, but my husband is, so I decided to give this a go. We LOVED this soup -- my husband said it was exceptional! This soup has a surprisingly Asian taste/feel to it despite the prevalence of Italian ingredients. I used portobello mushrooms, and a gourmet chicken sausage (Saag's asiago fennel). I also cut back on the Tabasco (I used 2T) and it was still plenty spicy. My husband and I both love cilantro so I chopped up a couple tablespoons and threw it in for the last 5 minutes of simmering. LOVE THIS SOUP!

I must admit, this recipe didn't sound like it would wow me, but boy was I wrong! There's something about the combination of sausage and tortellini in chicken broth with fresh cilantro and hot sauce - WOW! The flavors all mesh beautifully and develop into the most tasty, delicious soup I've had in a LONG time. Definitely give this one a try - it's amazing how much flavor you get with minimal ingredients! Oh, also, I didn't have leeks on hand so I used a whole onion instead and it was fantastic.
