Easy Tortellini Spinach Soup

• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen spinach
• 2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans chicken broth (approximately 4 cups)
• 9 ounces fresh tortellini
• 34 teaspoon dried basil
• 34 teaspoon garlic powder (see note)
• salt and pepper, to taste

1. In a large pot over high heat, combine the spinach and chicken broth.
2. Heat to boiling and then reduce heat to low.
3. Add the tortellini and let simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the tortellini is cooked to desired tenderness.
4. Season with basil, garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste.
5. NOTE: Instead of the garlic powder, I usually use pre-minced garlic I get in the jars.
6. Also, I always use fresh tortellini for this, but I don't see why couldn't substitute dried, just adjust accordingly for the cooking time.
