Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground Italian sausage
- 1 small yellow onion (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 5 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups tortellini (refrigerated or frozen)
- 2 cups kale (chopped)
- 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
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, cook the ground sausage and diced onion until the sausage is browned and the onion softens (about 8-10 minutes). Drain excess grease and stir in minced garlic; cook for another minute.
- Add flour to the mixture and cook for about 1-2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
- Stir in basil, oregano, cayenne (if using), hot sauce, mustard powder, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Gradually pour in chicken broth while scraping the pot's bottom with a spatula. Slowly mix in heavy cream.
- Bring to a boil before reducing heat to simmer. Add chopped kale and tortellini; cook for about 3-5 minutes until tortellini is tender.
- Adjust seasoning with salt as desired before serving warm.
