Easy Tortellini Soup

We've talked about my love of soup so it's no surprise that there are a gazillion soup recipes on this blog.  This is easy, healthy and beautiful in a bowl.

1 medium onion, chopped
1 tsp. olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
2 14.5oz. cans reduced sodium chicken broth
1 14.5oz. can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 pkg. refrigerated cheese tortellini or tortellini of your choice
3 C. chopped fresh spinach
1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1/4 tsp. pepper
Shredded Parmesan cheese

In a Dutch oven, saute onion in olive oil until tender.  Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.  Stir in broth and tomatoes.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add tortellini, cook for 7-9 minutes or until tender.  Stir in the spinach, vinegar and pepper.  Cook and stir until heated through and spinach is wilted.  Sprinkle with cheese and serve.
