This quick recipe is our lunch time family favorite that is ready in only 25 minutes. Makes 4 servings (6 cups).
3 Cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
2 Cups Water
3 Garlic Cloves minced
1/4 Teaspoon Pepper
1/2 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning
6 oz Cheese Filled Tortellini (fresh or frozen)
4 Cups Spinach, chopped
1/4 cup Fresh Basil
Mix the first 5 ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil. Add Tortellini and cook for 4-8 minutes for fresh and 10 more minutes for frozen. Throw in the Spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add Basil and Serve
Quick Tip: I purchase fresh spinach and when it starts to go, I throw the entire bag into the freezer. This way I always have spinach on hand that is perfect for soups!

The first time we tried this we were unsure if spinach would be good in soup, but now it has become a great way to add nutrition to all our soups with no complaints from the kids.
