Another easy to prepare and delicious soup. I used cheese tortellini and cut the amount down a bit, adding extra broccoli to make up the difference (trying to cut down on non fruit/veggie carbs a bit). Next time, I will probably saute some onion and add that, for a little extra flavor and because I love onion. Thanks for a keeper!

This soup was a great,low cal. soup. Hitting the spot on a cold winter night. I also tried it with ravioli instead of tortillini and it was yummy...Thanks!
