  4. Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Stir in the cheese tortellini and cook according to package directions, usually about 3-5 minutes, or until the tortellini are tender.
  6. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.

For a spicier soup, use hot Italian sausage. You can also add other vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or zucchini.
