Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground Italian sausage (hot or mild)
- 1 small yellow onion (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 5 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups kale (chopped)
- 2 cups tortellini (refrigerated or frozen)
- Seasonings: dried basil, oregano, cayenne, mustard powder, pepper, red pepper flakes, hot sauce
Instructions
- In a large pot, cook crumbled sausage and diced onions over medium-high heat until onions soften and sausage is cooked through (about 8-10 minutes). Drain excess grease and stir in minced garlic for an additional minute.
- Sprinkle flour into the pot and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate raw taste. Add basil, oregano, cayenne, hot sauce, mustard powder, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Gradually pour in chicken broth while stirring to deglaze the pot. Then mix in heavy cream and bring to a boil before reducing to a simmer.
- Stir in kale and tortellini; cook for 3-5 minutes until tortellini is tender.
- Taste and adjust seasoning before serving warm.
