This soup is absolutely the best for taste and filling you up and providing ultimate flavor…good enought to serve to company, which I did, and they asked for the recipe. To make it even less in calories, I added a box of frozen spinich and another can of fat free chicken broth and doubled the garlic and onion base to the basic recipe without increasing the tomatoes or tortellni.
I make this soup at least every other week and freeze it for a quick defrost and lunch. You will love this soup.
