[...] and in my search for just the right new recipe to experiment on my friend with try, I came across this recipe for Italian Sausage Tortellini Soup over at Big Mama’s blog and decided it would be the one. Delicious. It involved lots of chopping, but was easy and yummy. [...]

I made this soup on Sunday. So yummy! Thanks for a great recipe! I’m so glad my husband is great with left overs because it makes a ton! Also, I barely passed geometry too. Maybe if I brush up on my math skills I could half the recipe. Or not… It freezes well!

My mom has been making this soup for years and you are right…it is yummy. Seriously, every ingredient is the same except we’ve never added green peppers.
And I barely passed Geometry too. Why was it necessary to prove that a triangle was a triangle? It just was.
Great posts on both Thursday and Friday.
Have a good shopping weekend!

Made the soup today for lunch and it got rave reviews from the family!! This will definitely be added to the recipe stash.

I too had a ginormous tree one year. It was sooo large in circumference (and the cats so wild as they ran up it) that I had to wire the tree to the window sill to keep it from CONTINUING to topple over all Christmas season. LOL. Had forgotten that, until your post. Thanks for the memories.

We too had a Clark Griswold Christmas Tree the first year we moved into our house with super tall ceilings…it’s the joy of a tall tree that clouds the diameter factor.

We had to cut off a good portion of the bottom of that tree and then trim up the sides to re-shape it because it just about took up our entire living room! I think we cut off as much as we left.

Here’s to wonderful Christmas memories!Glad you found a great tree this year, I can’t wait to get ours!

I so totally agree with your title. We are getting our tree on Saturday and I can hardly wait. I love a tall tree, but the circumference issue gets us every time. We need a tree that is 12 feet tall and 2 feet wide. I don’t think Nature makes that kind.

I loooove tortellini soup, but I’ve never tried it with sausage. Great recipe!

I almost failed Geometry too. I now fail to see how I would ever use it in real life. Except maybe in buying our Christmas tree. I made T go out and get one yesterday, even though he wasn’t feeling the best. I justified my shrewishness in the fact that I had asked him to get a tree the day earlier and he said, “I don’t feel like it, I’ll wait until tomorrow.” A promise is a promise.

You lost me immediately after the word, “circumference” because my eyes glazed over and I was back in ninth grade math, drooling over Joe Scorgie sitting ahead of me. Didn’t learn a darn thing, and nearly flunked math. It happens.

But then you brought me back with food… Isn’t that always the way of it?

AGH! The seven step proof! So glad that’s over.

Soup sounds delish!
