Tortellini Tomato Spinach Soup



This is such a good soup that I didn't want to lose the recipe!  We had it for church gathering and everyone LOVED it.  I have made it a couple of times since.  Actually several times already! 
Ingredients: 
2TBS Olive oil
1 Onion-medium, diced
2 Garlic Cloves, minced
1 tsp Dried Basil
1 TBS Sundried Tomatoes, chopped
1 TBS Brown sugar
2 14oz. cans diced, crushed Tomatoes
2 quarts Chicken or Vegetable broth
1 lb pkg fresh or frozen tortellini
Salt & Pepper to taste
10oz. Fresh chopped spinach or bag frozen spinach
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan Cheese

In a large heavy pot, heat oil over medium heat.  Saute onion and garlic, stirring often until onions are translucent, about 7 min.  Add basil, sun dried tomatoes & brown sugar and continue cooking 2 more minutes.  Add broth & canned tomatoes.  Turn heat to high & bring to a boil.  Add tortellini & cook according to the package.  When tortellini is almost done, add spinach.  Add salt & pepper to taste.  Garnish each serving with Parmesan Cheese.
