I've been making this soup for years, glad to see someone posted it so others will know of it's greatness. Wonderful soup, not only quick but filling. Only difference when I make it is I used homemade beef stock and omit the beans/double the kale. This increases well to feed whoever shows up, just add more broth and throw in more veggies. Best with a homemade crusty bread or beer bread. NOTE: You can use almost any kind of meatballs you like. I prefer an italian-seasoned meatball that I've made myself with ground chuck and sausage. - 19 May 2009 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Make you use tortellini that you like because this was really good but i didn'y like my brand of tortellini - 13 Jul 2009 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Excellent recipe. Used Olive Oil instead of butter, omitted the carrots, and used chicken stock instead of beef. Fantastic! Definitely a keeper! - 14 Jul 2009 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
