Tortellini Tomato Spinach Soup

I had some fresh spinach I needed to cook up.
Along with some fresh plum tomatoes and a few
frozen tortellini, this is a very good soup!

Ingredients:
16 frozen tortellini
3 fresh plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped
10 ounces fresh spinach, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
4-6 cups chicken broth
1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
1/2 cup minced onion (about 1/2 small onion)
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste

Directions:
In a soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium high heat.
Saute the garlic and onion, stirring often,
for about 5-7 minutes (until the onions are translucent).
Add the tomatoes and broth, turn the
heat up to high, and bring to a boil.
Add the tortellini and cook
according to package instructions.
When the tortellini are almost done,
add the spinach and salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately, (optionally)
garnishing each serving with
a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.
