Was good. Better next day. I found that I couldn’t simmer the soup for 35 min once the tortellini went it though,they would of turned to mush.

Description
I make this soup every fall and often freeze it in a nice container to deliver to a friend. A loaf of French bread, a crisp tossed salad and a container of this hearty soup would be a welcome gift for any friend with a hectic work schedule and little time to cook.
