chicken tortellini soup

the picture doesn't do it justice, this soup is really delish.
i got the recipe from a friend years ago.
it's a crowd pleaser. i made it for halloween this year.
my brother's girlfriend asked for the recipe, she went home with it that night.
here it is:

6 cups water
5 TBS caldo de pollo (chicken boullion)
OR - you could use a couple cans of chicken broth instead

4 boneless skinless chicken breast, cooked & chopped
1/2 bag frozen spinach
1 or 2 jars artichoke hearts, chopped
1 bag frozen cheese tortellini
1/2 cup carrots, chopped
3 TBS cream cheese
salt & pepper to taste

combine water, boullion (or broth) chicken, spinach & artichokes.
bring to a boil.
cook carrots in micro - 2 minutes on high & add to soup.
when water is boiling add tortellini & cook 5 min. or until it floats to the top.
turn off heat & stir in cream cheese gradually until melted.
add salt & pepper.

you may have to add more broth especially the next day for left overs.
it's super easy & sooo good!
