Ingredients:
1 Tbs. olive oil
7 cloves garlic; minced
1 lb spinach; washed (removing stems is optional)
3 cups water
2 cans chicken broth
1 bag frozen tortellini (enough for 5-6 servings)
1 tsp. soy sauce
1 cube vegetable bullion
Parmesan cheese for sprinkling (optional)
Directions:
Heat oil in large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic, and cook for approximately 10 minutes. Lower heat if needed - do not let garlic brown or burn. Meanwhile, cook tortellini in boiling water just until done. Even a bit al dente never hurt anyone. Add water, vegetable bullion, soy sauce, and chicken broth to garlic and oil. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add spinach, and stir in, cooking until wilted; about one minute. Add tortellini and heat through, simmering for 5 minutes.
Serve, and sprinkle with Parmesan if desired.
**P.S. Perfect with Florentine cheese grilled sandwiches**
