Kraft Kitchens Tips

Serving Suggestion

Warm up with a serving of this tasty soup. Serve with a whole grain roll and a side salad for a simple lunch or dinner.

Storage Know-How

Store whole uncut tomatoes, stem-sides down, at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Do not store in the refrigerator as this tends to make the tomatoes lose their flavor.

I doubled this recipe and we thought it was very good. I used the 19 oz. bag of frozen tortellini and the full amount of pesto.

Very yummy soup. It was good advice to start with less pesto & add to taste. The soup didn't need quite as much pesto as it called for. I made it for a work function & it was very popular - luckily I had doubled the recipe.

Very tasty! Unique. I also used a bit less pesto than it called for and it was just right.

Love this soup. It is super fast to make but tastes like you spent all day cooking it with the flavors! We make this often.

Loved it! Super easy and tastes delicious. My 2 kids loved it too. I like to add sausage - either cut up Little Smokies or a kielbasa type sausage. Adds flavor and we like the meat.

This is a fast & easy soup that PACKS in the flavor!! (Also easy to make a small or larger pot when necessary). It's a family favorite, especially with my & & 9 year old boys!

Loved it - and I agree with others, you only need half or so of the pesto. A great soup!
