Italian Sausage Soup With Tortellini

My husband got this recipe from this little Italian lady where he goes to buy italian sausage. It is so tasty. The sodium is a bit high but if you use unsalted or low salt broth and tomato options it'll be much better. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.Submitted by: MOMTO5KDS

italian vinaigrette salad dressing

There's this salad at Buca Di Beppo and they use a dressing similar to this on their Apple Gorgonzola Salad. It's not right according to my boyfriend who works there, but i love it anyway. It's always better after a few days in the fridge. (ps, this isn't my recipe, i found in on the internet look for meemoskitchen on google)Submitted by: MMPIXIE

Gazpacho (Chilled Vegetable Soup)

Gazpacho is one of my favorite summer meals, and it's no coincidence that it's also one of the easiest to make. It's simply a chilled, usually blended vegetable soup of Spanish origin.

My family LOVES this soup - it's very good, we often substitute bacon for the proscuitto - I make the pasta separately and add it at the end so it doesn't soak up all the liquid. - 10/11/10
