Tortellini Vegetable Soup

My sister had a panic attack that out family was eating unhealthy so she bought the cook book: Anne Lindsay's New Light Cooking, which I decided to give a whirl tonight. I am so happy, it was good.

Ingredients:
3 garlic cloves minced
1 tsp dried Italian herb seasoning
1 pkg cheese tortellini
1 can undiluted chicken broth
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables and/or corn
3 green onions chopped
1 cup sliced mushrooms
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions: In large saucepan bring 4 cups water, garlic and Italian seasoning to boil over high heat. Add tortellini, stirring; return to boil. Reduce heat an simmer, covered, for 5 minutes. Add undiluted broth, frozen vegetables, green onions and mushrooms; simmer for about 5 minutes until tortellini is tender and vegetables are hot. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over top.

Changes:  I foregoed the mushrooms and green onions. I added both mixed vegetables and corn. Also, I doubled the entire recipe because we had guests.
