Equipment

  • Large pot

Ingredients
  

Sausage and Vegetables

  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage hot or mild
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced

Soups' Base

  • 3 Tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • 1 pinch cayenne optional
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • ½ teaspoon mustard powder
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes

  • 2 cups tortellini just under 10 oz. (refrigerated or frozen)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

Cooking Instructions

  • Remove the casings from the sausage if you purchased links. Cook and crumble the sausage and diced onions over medium-high heat until the onions are softened and the sausage is cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain grease. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  • Add basil, oregano, cayenne, hot sauce, mustard powder, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
  • Add the chicken broth and use a silicone spatula to 'clean' the bottom of the pot. Slowly stir in the heavy cream. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer.
  • Add the kale and tortellini and simmer for 3-5 minutes. (If your tortellini needs longer cooking time, add the tortellini first, then the kale during the last 5 minutes.)
  • Taste the soup and add salt if desired. Start with ¼ teaspoon and add more after that if needed.
  • Transfer to serving bowls and serve! (This is great with Garlic Bread with Cheese!)

Notes

The mustard powder and hot sauce are subtle but enhance the other flavors, making them worth adding even if hesitant.
