      This was so good! I added some garlic, onion, and Italian spices and my husband and I loved it. Unfortunately, my kids weren’t fans, but that just means more for me.

      This was spectacular for a weeknight and for ANY night! My husband commented it looked gourmet. My 4 year old loved it. I used chicken Italian sausage from Trader Joe’s, which is precooked, but sliced it up and browned it as the recipe calls. I did use more chicken stock than called for to get more broth in the soup. This is going into regular rotation in my house!

      Would this recipe still work if I swap the sausage for shrimp and the chicken stock for vegetable stock?

        Yes! The flavor will just be a little different.

      Do you think this would work without the sausage? Trying to cut back on meat.

        Yes! You can omit it or sub in sliced and seared mushrooms

      Do you recommend leaving the brown bits from the sausage to help flavor the soup or do you want it cleaned completely before adding the butter and flour?

        Yes you can! The tortellini May absorb some of the soup, so you may want to leave them out until you’re ready to reheat and enjoy it :)

      I made this for my boyfriend and myself. He’s battling cancer and his appetite isn’t great. He loved this soup! I used Pomi chopped tomatoes and made my own sauce. Topped it with freshly grated Parmesan. So good thank you!
