Tortellini Soup image

It's a wonderful comfort food. Friends and family always rave about this soup and want the recipe. Tastes even better after warming up the leftovers. This is a family favorite I got from my Mother-in-law. I use the dry packaged tortellini. If you're a garlic lover, don't be afraid to add more. If you're a spinach lover add more to the leftovers when warming over. When serving the soup sprinkle desired amount of parmesean cheese on top of individual portion and stir in.
