Really tasty soup, I used beef stock and didnt use the extra flour to thicken it, it was perfect. I sprinkled with grated cheese and served with warmed crusty bread rolls.

Outstanding flavor in this soup! We just loved it and will enjoy the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. I had to use cheese tortellini as the grocery store I went to only had that. I'm sure it is good with both! I served this with some crusty rolls for a satisfying dinner. Thanks for sharing! Made for Photo Tag.
