Chicken Tortellini Soup

Today's soup is a really easy one to put together. I think it took me less than 30 minutes to make. I used a crab tortellini, but you can use any type. This has been a good winter for soup. More days of sub zero temperatures.
4 Servings
346 calories
5 cups chicken broth
1 package tortellini
1 lb Roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 cup frozen peas
4 ounces of sliced portabella mushrooms
2 carrots peeled and sliced
6 ounce bag of baby spinach
Place broth in large pot and bring to a boil. Add tortellini
and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Cook for 7 – 9 minutes until the tortellini
are tender.
Stir in the vegetables except for the spinach. Cook for 2
minutes. Then add spinach a hand full at a time. Serve immediately.
