Parmesan PointersWhen a recipe calls for shredded Parmesan cheese, use the cheese found in bags in the grocery store dairy section. Shredded Parmesan is often used in salads or soups where the shreds make a pretty garnish. If grated Parmesan is called for, use the finely grated cheese sold in containers with shaker/pourer tops. This type works well in lasagna and casseroles. (You can substitute either shredded or grated Parmesan in equal proportions in your favorite recipes.) If you decide to buy a chunk of Parmesan cheese and grate your own, be sure to use the finest section on your grating tool. You can also use a blender or food processor. Simply cut the cheese into 1-inch cubes and process 1 cup of cubes at a time on high until finely grated.

I am making this recipe a 2nd time tonight - which means it gets added to my "favorites" book. Like other reviewers, I replaced the sun dried tomatoes with canned diced tomatoes. Very yummy and unique soup and its just as good reheated as leftovers.

This is a yummy tomato soup that has chunks of tomatoes, and big cheese tortellini in it. Not too think, but very warming. Easy too! We'll be making this one again.

Very easy and quick to make. Made this soup for lunch and it is creamy and hearty! Tastes good reheated if you have leftovers!

I used a can of diced tomatos (drained) instead of the sundried and chicken broth instead of vegetable broth. Also added a can of tomato sauce because I thought it needed more tomato flavoring. Excellent!

this was soo good.. i used regular sundried tomatos because i thought the oil packed ones where expensive and used a whole package of frozen tortellini. to the people who think its a lot of liquid... its a soup not a stew or sauce what did u think it was going to be like...next time i am going to add some frozen spinach

I liked this and it was certainly easy to make. I will add more Italian seasoning or something the next time I make it because I like things a little more spicy. But it was definitely a good start.

I made this yesterday for the first time, and both my husband and I loved it! Next time I will probably try using extra tortellini, but the soup itself is outstanding, even without the tortellini. Great recipe and one I will be keeping for years!

I would have given it 2 stars because this did not impress me at all. I felt there was way too much milk/cream and I didn't use as much as the recipe calls for. The tomato soup-iness of it clashed with the tortellini. I would suggest using less milk and a different pasta like macaroni or something without filling.I gave it a 3 because it went over well with my sister and her husband. She loved it and demanded the recipe--one because she thought it was delicious and two because it was quick and easy to make. She, too, recommended less milk/cream.

This soup is so quick and delicious! I picked up Light Cream instead of Half and half so used that. Also....put in FRESH basil because I'm not a fan of dried spices. AWESOME! I would in the future double the tortellini because it does make alot of liquid.

both my husband and I LOVED this! I used a 20-oz package of cheese tortellini, and the broth-to-pasta ratio was perfect. next time I may add another can of tomato soup, just for extra flavor, but it was still amazing!
