Ingredients
Italian style turkey sausage removed from casings
Carrots finely chopped
Yellow onion diced
Fresh garlic minced
Italian seasoning blend
All purpose flour
Low sodium chicken broth
Tomato paste
Heavy cream
Three cheese tortellini
Fresh kale chopped
Salt and black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large heavy bottom pot over medium high heat and add the turkey sausage, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks until fully browned
Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate and set aside while keeping the rendered fat in the pot
Add the chopped carrots and onion to the pot and sauté until softened and fragrant
Stir in the minced garlic and Italian seasoning and cook briefly until aromatic
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and return the sausage to the pot, stirring well to coat everything evenly
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring to create a smooth base
Add the tomato paste and mix until fully incorporated into the broth
Reduce heat slightly and stir in the heavy cream to create a rich and creamy texture
Add the cheese tortellini and allow the soup to gently simmer until the pasta is tender
Fold in the chopped kale and let it wilt in the hot soup
Season with salt and black pepper to taste and serve hot
Notes
Simmer the soup gently to prevent the cream from separating and to keep the tortellini tender
Allow the soup to rest briefly after cooking to help the flavors blend and the broth thicken naturally
Adjust seasoning only at the end since the sausage and tortellini already add salt
If the soup thickens too much when reheating, add a splash of chicken broth or cream and warm gently
