We take turns cooking Sunday meals at my church, and this soup is always popular. It's a smart way to use zucchini, and people seem to enjoy the cheese tortellini as well as the Italian turkey sausage. -Pamela Smith of Flushing, New York

Amazing :) I couldn't find the italian turkey sausage links as I live in a very small town...so I bought the next closest thing which was smoked turkey sausage. It was already cooked and difficult to remove casings, so I just left them on. I added a few extra spices since the sausage wasn't italian flavored and the soup was just delicious. Even my hubby loved it...and you know how guys are when you say "We're having soup for dinner!"

Another fabulous recipe from Light and Tasty/Healthy Cooking!! I made this tonight almost exactly as written, but I did not have quite enough broth (was short about a cup). It still tasted great! Will definitely be making this again!

This is a very easy, very hearty, very healthy and very very tastey soup. It is excellent as the weather starts getting colder. I'm not an expert or have much experience making soups but this turned out just great and the broth is awesome. I will likely increase the broth proportions the next time because after a few days it is almost gone and plenty of the other good stuff is left. You could use any pasta such as raviolis, perogies, elbow macaroni, etc. Highest recommendation.
