Tortellini Soup with White Beans and Greens

Invest in a good Parmesan cheese, such as Parmigiano-Reggiano.

3 cups fresh or frozen cheese tortellini
3 1/2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried sage or rosemary leaves, crumbled
2 cups coarsely chopped cleaned spinach or other greens
16 oz (450g) can small white or navy beans, rinsed and drained
4 sun-dried tomatoes, minced
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Cook tortellini according to package instructions, until just tender. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, bring broth, garlic, sage and 1 cup water to a boil. Stir in spinach, beans and tomatoes. Reduce heat and simmer until spinach and tomatoes are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in tortellini and simmer 1 minute longer.
Serve, sprinkled with cheese.
