Step 1

Preheat a deep heavy pot over medium heat. Add in the Italian sausage and cook it until it turns a light shade of brown.

Step 2

Add in the diced onion and cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Add pressed garlic and season with 1 tsp salt or to taste.

Step 3

Add chicken broth and tomato sauce. Simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the tortellini and simmer for about 5 minutes. You may need to adjust the cooking time depending on the size of your tortellini.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped kale and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until kale is tender. Remove the heat and serve.

Chef’s notes

Adjust the salt. Depending on the broth and tomato sauce you use, you might want to add more or less salt.

Like a spicier soup? Add in a dash of red pepper flakes or ground cayenne pepper.

Try different tortellini. You can change the soup up with different tortellini varieties including meat stuffed, spinach stuffed, and more.

Don’t overcook the tortellini. Overcooking tortellini can make it mushy. Make sure to have your kale and heavy cream prepped and ready to add immediately after the tortellini is cooked.
