This soup is fabulous! I've made it twice and frozen it in individual servings. The taste is great. When I went to get the ingredients the first time I made it, the store only had 1/3 pound of sausage left, so that's what I used. I thought it was just the right amount for flavor. The second time I used 1/2 pound and it was a bit more than I liked. Either way, though, it is a great soup.

I used this recipe more as a guideline than anything else. I used smoked sausage instead of Italian, doubled the carrots, zucchini, stewed tomatoes, and tomato sauce, and used only one bell pepper. However, it turned out to be delicious, and I will be making it again, perhaps with the Italian sausage if I have it on hand.

Green peppers were too overpowering, even though I only used one pepper. My husband liked this soup, but to me it was only OK.

This was fantastic! The only thing I changed was using added beef broth for the water and only using a dash of wine. My husband loved it and is taking the leftovers (I halved the recipe)for lunch tomorrow. I'm jealous. My toddler picked the tortellini and sausage out. Next time I make it, I'll try fresh tortellini rather than frozen. Thanks for a yummy dinner!

This soup is excellent. My family was impressed! The only thing I did differently was to omit the bell peppers and I added frozen spinach. I came out wonderfull. Thanks Donna.

OH MY GOSH! This is the BEST soup! We all loved it, even the kids.... I made a couple of modifications, because of what I had on hand... instead of sausage, I used ground beef... instead of beef broth I used chicken... and omitted the red wine and instead added a tablespoon or so of Worchestershire sauce. YUMMY STUFF!

DELISH! It turned out to be more like a stew than a soup, which was just fine! The sausage gave it really intense flavor and the aroma filled the house. My husband loved it! We had enough for 2 nights plus a light lunch. I served a French Dip sandwich with it on the second night. Very filling and very good!

This soup was a hit at our house. My husband said that it may be the best soup he's ever eaten. Even my soup-phobic teenage son gave it a thumbs up. I omitted the bell peppers and parsley. It served our family of five and we still had three bowls worth of leftovers for lunch the next day. Yum! Can't wait to have it again.

We don't eat meat so I substituted Boca Italian sausage (4 links) and used a little olive oil. Also used a veggie broth instead of beef and it was OUTSTANDING!! Great for a cold winter evening!

We all loved the soup. The flavor was excellant. It really did not take that long to prepare and not that long to cook. I E-mailed it to a friend. Since there is only 2 of us I put the remaining soup in the freezer for, I don't feel like cooking night!
