Tuscan Kale Tortellini soup
1 lb Mild Italian sausage
1 yellow onion chopped
1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 32oz carton chicken broth
1 19 oz package frozen cheese tortellini
3/4 cup half and half
4 cups kale chopped
6 servings
1. In a stockpot over medium heat, brown and crumble the Italian sausage. (I seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning but use whatever you feel like using) When 90% cooked toss in the onion lower heat and let it sweat stirring often.
2. Once happy with the caramelization, add the tomatoes and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add in the tortellini and cook for 3 minutes.
3. Lower heat again to low, add in half and half and stir.
4. Add the kale and push it down in the soup to get it to wilt.
5. Salt and pepper to taste. Continue to simmer until satisfied with flavor medley.
I served mine in sourdough bread bowls topped with cheese.
Enjoy!
