Description
Creamy Tortellini Soup is a comforting and flavorful dish that combines cheese-filled tortellini pasta with a rich, creamy broth. The soup features Italian sausage, garlic, onions, and kale, creating a harmonious blend of ingredients that deliver a truly satisfying and cozy meal.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium sweet onion, diced
- 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 4 cup chicken stock
- 9 ounce refrigerated three-cheese tortellini
- 1/2 bunch kale, chopped
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
Instructions
1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
2. Add the minced garlic, diced onion, and Italian seasoning to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to bloom and the onions to soften.
3. Pour in the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing the flavors to meld together.
4. Stir in the refrigerated tortellini and chopped kale. Cook according to the tortellini package instructions, typically 5-7 minutes, until the pasta is tender.
5. Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream. Heat through, allowing the soup to thicken slightly. Serve warm, garnished with additional toppings if desired.
