With all the tortalini called for it was much more of a pasta than a soup. Good flavor though

The taste of the soup was wonderful and very easy to make. My only point when I make it the next time would be to double the liquid ingredients. It really did seem more like a tortellini with sauce over it than a soup and I didn't even use the full amount of tortellini that was suggested in the ingredients. I used about half that much. So, half the tortellini and double the main soup ingredients. Otherwise, a great soup, especially on a cold winter day!

Sorry Rlinda, but I didn't like this 'soup' at all. I followed the recipe exactly without the tortellini though. I thought it was too spicy (and I like spicy) and was overpowered by too many competing spices (too much pepper, too much of every spice actually). It is not as subtle soup, but just hits you in the face. Also, it was unclear if we were to re-blend the mushrooms in after boiling or not (I did, with one of those hand blenders; still not better). I'll never make this one again.

Pretty good, particularly because it was so easy to make and the tortellini was great in it. My only issue is that even though I love lots of seasonings and flavor, I thought there was way too much oregano in the soup. A little oregano goes a long way, at least for me. Also, that much pepper would make the soup REALLY peppery, so I halved it and it still had quite a strong spicy kick. This is a recipe where I would definitely recommend seasoning to taste instead of following the directions as written. I will definitely make it again and simply adjust the seasonings; thanks for the recipe, RLINDA!

This was delicious and easy to prepare in my Vitamix, although I did have to cook the tortellini separately. The tortellini made this hearty enough for me to eat for dinner by itself. The soup is delicious and I would omit the pasta if serving with a sandwich or something else. I didn’t have oregano and my peppers (what I had on hand) had dill and garlic added. I rinsed the peppers but there was still a hint of dill which did not add to the taste of the soup. Next time, and there will be a next time, I will either roast my own peppers or use a plain bottled variety.

Wow this was pretty good. I didn't have fresh mushrooms so I used two cans and also added some heavy cream then shared w/some friends and they were just as impressed. Thanks for sharing
