After reading other reviews, i was pretty skeptical ... but i thought it was very good and flavorful too. Filling, but also a good light dinner. I did use 32oz.'s of broth, added in some grated carrott (not too much, but enough to give it that sweetness that carrott has when cooked), used twice as much tortellini(18 oz.'s) to stretch it farther, and used garlic and mozzerella stuffed tortellini. Word to the wise...with this recipe they say serves 4 and that is definetly all it serves if you follow the recipe to a tee.

Delicious. I have made this soup several times when I needed something fast and easy that resembled dinner. I microwave the spinach right in the freezer box it comes in and boil the tortellini in the microwave. Doesn't get much easier or tastier.

I followed the advice of previous reviewers and added mild italian sausage, carrots, a whole lot more water, shredded carrots, garlic and twice the basil. The soup had good flavor after all was said and done but I think I will stick with my version if I make it again.

Won't make again. Too much spinach and not much flavor.

Excellent! I did make a few changes, based on the reviews: I used 2 cans of water, 4 t. chicken bouillon, 2/3 (rather than 1/4) T. basil, 2/3 (rather than 1/4) T. garlic (I used dried minced garlic). Very tasty...wish I had more!

This is the essential quick and tasty soup! I put in a can of diced golden tomatoes instead of spinach. This soup with a turkey sandwich makes a great quick dinner!

This recipe is indeed easy to make, but is mediocre in flavor.

I thought this was an EXCELLENT soup...with all the recommended adjustments. I added carrots, chopped fresh tomatoes, parsley, basil, minced onion, and fresh garlic. I added 2 chicken boulion cubes and about a cup and a half of water so that the spinach wasnt too overpowering. I also cooked the macaroni separately. I will most DEFINATELY make this again. It is delicious!

This recipe is not good. You have to make a lot of adjustments. The second time I made it I added a 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese and a can of chopped tomatoes undrained along with fresh basil, and you definitely should cook the pasta separately al dente. My version was good anyway and I will make it my way again.

Not sure why this recipe had such good reviews. I added extra broth and cut down on the spinach like the other reviewers advised. I thought the soup had an awful texture and wasn't at all tasty.

This was very good but a little less spinach and little more broth would have been better. I will definitely make again and take Lisa0208's suggestion at cooking the tortellini separately, perhaps that is why it seemed so thick. Cut-up carrots will be a nice addition, too. We sprinkled a little romano cheese on top.

So easy and excellent! I added sausage because it was not "man enough" for my husband and son. Great way to get spinach into the diet! Also used 3 cans of broth.

Well this soup turned out good AFTER I made some additions. I added some real bacon bits & some dried onion (dried only because the soup was already done cooking) & some minced garlic as others had suggested. Also LISA0208 made a great suggestion (had I only read it earlier, because the next day it was gross & mushy) of NOT cooking the tortellini in the broth, it did give it a "starchy" taste. I topped it with Italian blend shredded cheese. I'm not sure I would make it again (thanks Lisa), and thanks anyway Nicole :)

This soup is so easy to make. I make it quite often. I have tried it with both cheese and meat tortellini, and either tasted great. I also add a bit of extra garlic powder and some poultry seasoning too.

Very tasty. I added a ton of garlic and much more seasoning that the recipe called for. I also made some additonal chicken broth to add to the canned.

This soup is great for a cold winter day! I used the fresh cheese tortellini available in the dairy case, and added 1 tsp. of fresh minced garlic. Yum!

I took the advice of some of the others and used fresh garlic along w/the garlic powder as well as fresh parsley and chicken boullion cubes. I also used pesto tortellini. Overall not bad, definitely worth trying. I felt using the whole box of spinach was a bit much. Next time I may use just a little more than half the box. I also boiled the tortellini seperately.
