Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Tortellini Soup
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add the Italian sausage to the pot, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until browned and crumbled.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, diced onion, and Italian seasoning. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until the onions turn translucent.
  4. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the sausage and aromatics, whisking to combine. Gradually add 4 cups of chicken stock and 1 cup of tomato sauce; bring to a boil.
  5. Stir in 9 ounces of refrigerated three-cheese tortellini, ensuring they are evenly submerged in the broth. Cover and let cook for 5-7 minutes.
  6. Toss in ½ bunch of chopped kale, stirring until just wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Reduce heat to low and stir in ⅓ cup of heavy cream, combining well. Serve immediately.
