Tortellini Soup Recipe

This is from my Mother-in-law. She's a pretty darn good cook, so you know you can't go wrong with it. It's super good and super easy!

2 lg. cloves garlic, minced
1 T margarine
3 cans chicken broth
salt & basil to taste
parmesan cheese
2 cans italian stewed tomatoes
1-10 oz. package frozen spinach (i've used fresh too)
1-16 oz. package tortellini

In large saucepan saute garlic in margarine. Add 3 cans chicken broth & package of tortellini. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat & simmer for 10 min. Pour sauce from 2 cans stewed tomatoes into broth, chop tomatoes and add to broth. Chop defrosted spinich and add to soup. Add salt & basil to taste. Cook through. Serve w/ parmesan cheese on top.

That sounds very good. We don't like to cook but maybe we will try it sometime.

Thank you for the recipe!!! I made it for dinner last night. I did tomato sauce instead of the stewed tomatoes, because my hubby will not eat them. It still turned out so yummy! Thanks again and tell aunt Dianne thank you as well.
