“Fake it, Don’t Make it” Italian Soup

So, my mother’s best friend, who is 100% Italian, gave me this soup recipe. It tastes fabulous, and everything in it is frozen or canned or what have you. And I don’t feel bad, because the true Italian told me to make it this way! (I’m only a measly 1/4 Italian).

ITALIAN SOUP
In a pot combine, and bring to a boil
8 cups of Chicken Broth (two cartons)
1 can of herb diced tomatoes (different names for different brands, whatever sounds like its seasoned Italian style will do)
1/2 box of frozen spinach (I use chopped)
2-3 cloves of garlic, minced

After the soup is boiling, add and cook until warm (just a few minutes!)
1 bag frozen cheese tortellini

Serve with parmesan cheese.

If you happen to have some cooked chicken, you can throw it in, but it doesn’t really need it if you don’t.
