Delish! My boys don't like mushrooms so instead I substituted already cooked carrots at the end. Also cut the hot sauce back to 1 tablespoon, for my 2 year-old. The sweetness of the chicken sausage with the little spice of the hot sauce made this!

My husband ate it up. I did exclude the tortellini, substituted turkey sausage for chicken sausage, and used rooster sauce in place of the hot sauce. Will make again!

That was some darn good soup. I used smoked sausage, I don't like chicken sausage. I also used chicken and cheese tortellini. This was my first time using a leek. It was so good it gave the soup so much flavor. I cooked acording to the recipie and everything turned out great. The tortellini was the perfect texture.

I omitted the tortellini and cut back on the broth because I wanted to serve the mixture over angel hair pasta. I didn't like the idea of boiled sausages so I browned them, whole, in olive oil, then sliced them up. Flavor-wise, I thought it was missing something, but I'm not sure what. Not bad though. Thanks!

This was very easy and turned out great! I made a couple of changes - 1 shallot instead of leeks and bratwurst (yes!) instead of chicken sausage (couldn't find any at the store). I used more mushrooms than recommended and cooked them a bit longer, until golden, which really enhanced the broth. As other reviewers have mentioned, add tabasco to your liking. Nice and simple and very tasty!

Loved this recipe and will certainly make again. I veered slightly from the recipe with ingredients and cooking instructions, making it in one pot, but the results were the same. I used feta/spinach chicken sausage, which after slicing I added in with the simmering leeks and mushrooms, which I cooked in the soup pot. When done, added rest of ingredients and continued on as directed. I did substitute ground red pepper in leiu of the hot sauce. Yummy!

This is an AWESOME soup!! I think I ate 1/2 of the pot the second it was ready. I used kielbasa instead of the chicken sausage because I think with the mushroom and leek it would be a better blend of flavors, but Im sure its great either way.

I thought this was really great. I used turkey italian sausage because I couldn't find chicken sausage at the store. My family really enjoyed it. Also was really simple to make.

Not sure on this one..we liked it, but thinking I could of changed something I did with it. I took other reviewers ideas about not cooking the tortelli so long, which i did. But wasnt that kean on the tortelli..maybe a meat filled tortelli, would of been better and leave out the sausage? I noticed someone else used spinach instead of leeks, this would make it taste even more like italian wedding soup? Has anyone else tried this? will make it again..but will try to change it a bit.. :0)

We liked this soup except for one thing...way too spicy! I only added 1 tablespoon of tabasco and thought we better test it before adding more. 3 tablespoons and your lips would have been on fire! Be careful with adding the tabasco!

Happen to have all the stuff at home that needed to be used...YUMMY! The only change was instead of sausage (not a fan, usually) I used chopped/diced chicken breast and cooked it with the leeks and mushrooms than added the broth..ect. Hope this helps, I was hesitate to try, but glad I did.

I loved this!. I can only give it 4 stars because you'll need to tweak a little... Follow the directions in the recipe, but don't put the totellini in until time specified on the package. Mine said cook for 2 minutes. If you put in for the full 30 minutes as recipe states, you'll have over cooked pasta! I forgot to buy mushrooms so I had to leave them out, but I really want to try it again with them. This was my first time cooking with leeks and I really liked the flavor; I asked my produce guy and he suggested to only use the firm ends of them (aprox.4-5").. I also only used 1 Tablespoon of tobasco and it was just right for our liking! After about an hour the tortellini starts to soak up the liquid, so you may want to add an extra cup of broth. Hubby loved it and I did too! Will make again and again!..Thanks!

I thought this soup was too thick - I added about a half a cup of water and the broth was still "gooey". Also, too many leeks. I would scale it back to one large leek. I also think that you need to add the tortellini only about 10-15 minutes before serving or else it becomes mushy and falls apart. Interesting flavors, though.

This was just ok. Cooking the tortellini for 30 minutes was way too much cooking time. It was no longer al dente. I did scale back the garlic (hubby can't handle a lot of it) and put in what I thought was an adequate amount of hot sauce. I used sweet italian chicken sausage. I don't know -- it just didn't work for me.

I'm giving this 4 stars only because I tweaked the recipe a little but it was an excellent base. Following another's post I used the spinach and feta sausage. I used the 3 cheese tortellini but it came with spinach pasta. I used chicken stock instead of chicken broth for a richer base. I doubled the recipe because we have a big family and that made the recipe call over just over a 1/4 cup of hot sauce!!! That would have killed us!!! I used Tabasco and measured, added and tasted after each tablespoon and ended up with 2 1/2 tablespoons for the amount of liquid. I added chopped baby spinach just before I served this and it was an excellent addition. I served it with crusty bread and it was a fabulous meal. All of that being said, as others have shared, I was skeptical at first that this would have any flavor at all. But evidently, just the stock with the hot sauce and salt and pepper were enough. I assume that the stock also picked up the flavor of the sausage and other veggies as it cooked as well. Very good soup and hubby says I get a gold star for this one : )

A very hearty winter night treat! As others have stated, a lot of flavor from minimal ingredients. Since I could not find a good sausage the day I was making, I used chopped breast and thigh meat cooked in the skillet after the leeks and mushrooms. I served this with a rosemary bread and green salad. Everyone loved it.

This really is a great recipe. I used italian sausage instead of chicken sausage as my store was out of it. I increased the mushrooms for a heartier soup and used twice as many tortellini (5 cheese!). It was to die for.
