Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lbs Italian sausage turkey, pork, or chicken work great
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour cup4cup if gluten-free
- 6 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp dry sage
- ¼ tsp pepper
- 4 cups beef broth chicken or vegetable also works
- 3 cups water
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 16 oz cheese tortellini
- 2 cups chopped kale or spinach
- ¼ tsp salt
- Shaved parmesan cheese optional for garnish
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage. Crumble as it cooks. Drain.
- Once the sausage is browned, add the onion and sun-dried tomatoes. Saute for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Add the flour, garlic, Italian seasoning, sage, salt, and pepper, and cook for another minute.
- Stir in the broth, water, and tomato paste, and heat to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the cream and tortellini, and simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped kale and add salt as well. Serve!
Notes
- Salt content is going to vary a lot depending on the broth and sausage you use. I would try the soup first before adding any salt at the end just to be sure.
- Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- The tortellini tends to keep absorbing moisture the longer it sits in the soup so you may have to add more broth when reheating. Just keep it in mind!
