Spinach Tortellini Soup

This is one of our favorite soup recipes. It is a good soup for lunch or dinner, since the tortellini makes it hearty and filling. I love to pair this soup with shave parmesan cheese over the top and served with baked lentil chips. It heats up well as leftovers too.
Ingredients:

4 to 6 cups broth, chicken or vegetable
1 (9-ounce) package fresh tortellini or 4 servings dried tortellini *awesome with fresh  
Coarse grained salt and cracked black pepper
10 ounces fresh spinach, chopped and stems removed (do not use frozen spinach, not very good)
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan, very loosely packed (I shave mine over top with a veggie peeler)

Directions:


In a 3-quart soup pot, heat broth to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions. When tortellini is almost done, add spinach and taste, adjusting seasonings with salt and pepper. Serve immediately. Garnish each serving with freshly grated Parmesan.
