Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 16 oz Italian Turkey Sausage
- 1 Yellow Onion, small diced
- 2 Carrots, small diced
- 2 Celery Stalks, small diced
- 4 Cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsp Sundried Tomatoes, minced
- 1 tsp Oregano
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 28 oz Crushed Tomatoes
- 7 cups Chicken Stock
- 2 cups Kale, finely chopped
- 10 oz Cheese Tortellini
- 1/4 tsp Crushed Red Pepper
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (plus more for topping)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add the Italian turkey sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Transfer the sausage to a paper towel–lined plate and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
- Add the garlic, sundried tomatoes, and oregano. Cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Next, pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken stock. Stir to combine, scraping the pan to get the good and brown bits! Then, add ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper and bring to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 10–15 minutes to let the flavors come together.
- Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until mostly smooth (or to your desired texture).
- Stir in the kale, cheese tortellini, crushed red pepper, and the cooked sausage. Simmer for 5–7 minutes, or until the tortellini is tender.
- Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve warm, topped with extra Parmesan. Enjoy!
