This soup has my favorite ingredients: spinach, mushrooms and Tortellini. I originally found this recipe through Weight Watchers 5 Ingredient 15 Minute Recipes magazine (Winter 2011). My preference is to make it with Spinach Tortellini and more fresh baby spinach.
This makes a large batch. I actually get far more servings out of it than six. It will keep in the fridge all week. The Tortellini does get over done with reheating so sometimes I reduce the amount of cook time on the front end knowing I will be cooking it again to reheat during the week.
