Chicken and Spinach Tortellini Soup

This is a good soup. It's not one I would rank as amazing, but I like the spinach and love the tortellini. (I'm a sucker for cheese, though.)

Chicken and Spinach Tortellini Soup
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1/3 cup chopped green onions
1/3 cup julienne-cut carrots
1 tsp. finely chopped garlic
6 cups chicken broth
2 cups shredded chicken
1 cup frozen small cheese tortellini
1/8 tsp. pepper
3 cups chopped fresh spinach

Heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, carrots and garlic. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, until onions are softened. Stir in broth and chicken. Heat to a boil. Stir in tortellini. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook 3 to 5 minutes until tortellini are tender. Stir in pepper and spinach. Cover, and cook until spinach is hot (2 to 3 minutes).
