- Pour in the chicken stock, crushed tomatoes and tomato paste and stir until well combined. Bring to a low boil, then simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- After the 15 minutes, stir in tortellini, cream, spinach and salt. Cook until spinach is tender, which happens quickly, usually about 3-5 minutes.
