Garlicky Tortellini, Spinach & Tomato Soup

-2 Tbl. butter
-6-8 cloves of garlic chopped
-4 cups chicken broth
-6 oz fresh or frozen cheese tortellini (I use way more than this, probably more like 18 oz)
-14 oz canned diced tomatoes with their liquid
-10 oz fresh spinach
-8-10 leaves basil (or a bunch of dried basil)
-Grated Parmesan cheese


Melt butter in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute about 2 minutes. Add the broth and brink to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook halfway, about 5 minutes for frozen, less if using fresh. Add the tomatoes and their liquid, reduce heat to simmer, and cook until pasta is tender. Stir in spinach and basil and cook until wilted, 1 - 2 minutes. Serve sprinkled with tons of grated cheese.

This is such an easy recipe! Dalene shared it with me and we love it. I get a big bag of frozen tortellini at Costco, but I bet fresh would be even better. Yummy! Don't forget the Parmesan cheese! Enjoy!
