Creamy Chicken, Spinach and Tortellini Soup image

It is turning cold here in AK fast, so in desperate need of a warming, filling dinner in a hurry, I threw this hearty soup together with ingredients I had on hand. DH absolutely loved it and requested that it become a regular part of our winter soup rotation :)

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it helped a lot.
