Tortellini and Spinach Soup


This is one of my favorite things to make--so easy and so good!!

Serves 4

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
6-8 cloves garlic, chopped
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
6 oz. cheese tortellini
14 oz. canned diced tomatoes, with their liquid
10 oz. spinach, washed and stemmed
8-10 leaves basil, coarsely chopped
Grated Parmesan

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute about 2 minutes. Add broth and bring to a boil. Add tortellini and cook halfway, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and their liquid, reduce heat to simmer. Cook just until pasta is tender. Stir in spinach and basil, cook until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve sprinkled with Parmesan.
