I can agree with the croutons making it...that's what does it for me with Panera's! this one sounds yummy too!
Yum again! I love this sour 'series.' I must try and make those croutons very soon too.
perfect for the coldest day in january!
I love the name you gave it!
bookmarked. : )
I made this last night - loved it! Perfect amount for 2. Homemade croutons totally made this. I also think next time I'll either seriously reduce the amount of tortellini or leave it out all together. And I love tortellini.
So, I want to know how you make your croutons!! This soup looks simply amazing. I am going to try it sometime!
