This soup has an Italian feel. It tastes very much like a hearty spaghetti dish would, but much more warming. I made this one day when I thought I had seen or heard of a soup that was made with tortellini, but when I searched for it, it never seemed to be the right mixtures. So I put this together by what I thought should be in it. I make it for large groups and it is always the empty pot first. I'm always asked for the recipe, and it's great with a slice of garlic bread!
