Delicious soup for a cool and rainy day. Made this for Fall PAC 2012 and so glad I did. I cut the recipe in half, added a pinch of sugar and followed the rest of the instructions. Definately one to make again and again. DH would like to have meat tortellini instead of cheese next time. Thank you for posting.
