  6. I love chicken soup but I have not tried tortellini in the chicken soup yet. I have to try this but without celery. I don´t like the smell of celery. Thanks for the recipe Sam. Bookmark for later use.

  7. Sounds like a nice combination of ingredients. I've never made soup with tortellini... I should try this. There's nothing quite like warm, delicious soup on a cold winter day.

  8. I'm thinking that this would be fantastic with homemade egg noodles instead of Tortellini. :)

  9. Chicken soup soothes the tired soul! Love the look of this. And it reminds me of my own homemade version of Chickarina soup I used to make back in the 70s. Who doesn't have a nerve that needs calming?
