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 used Trader Joe's vegetable broth which gave it a weird flavor I think. So next time I'd use chicken broth. I skipped tomatoes & used 1/4 cup half and half with nearly 8 oz. cream, & added 1/2 tsp. seasoned salt. Also used Campbell's 100% natural tomato with basil soup. No corn syrup for us!

The flavor was good, but it was way too thin for our liking. I do think doubling the tortellini as other reviewers said would help, but I won't be making it again.

Great the way it is. No changes recommended.

My family loved this soup!! I did change a couple things, as I read the reviews and some made sense, for my family. I used diced tomatos instead of sun dried. I bought a larger package of tortellini.I used chicken broth and added some cooked chicken that I had leftovers. I aslo sauteed garlic and onions, but followed everyhthing else- result: great soup. Definitely a keeper.

This soup was wonderful. I think I would only change one thing, and that would be to blend the ingredients together with a hand blender before I add the tortellini. But it tasted wonderful and I can't wait to eat the leftovers!

Hubby and I liked it, kids wouldn't even try it. They are so picky. I chopped the sun dried tomatoes in my quick chopper and I think that worked great.

Delicious overall and the broth is to die for. I substituted canned diced tomatoes for the sun-dried and used a bag of frozen tortellini instead of smaller refrigerated package to give it some additional heft. Served with sliced Italian bread. Will be adding this to my recipe rotation.

Some great modifications if you're interested in making this a little more hearty.I used 20 oz. of cheese tortellini and cooked and diced 2 chicken breasts (1lb) seasoned with Mrs. Dash. Instead of 2 cups ½ and ½, I used 1 C heavy whipping cream, 4 oz. lite sour cream, and 4 oz. ricotta cheese. Instead of garlic and onion powder, I sautéed ½ white onion and 3 cloves of minced garlic in EVOO. I also added 2 chopped fresh tomatoes and sautéed mushrooms as garnish (sautéed in same pan as onion and garlic). I didn't add any salt but added plenty of fresh ground pepper. Didn't need the PARM cheese with the ricotta. Lastly, I used lots of chopped fresh basil and basil leaves as garnish.Enjoy!
