Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb Italian sausage
1 onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 8.8 oz package cheese tortellini
32 oz chicken broth
1 28-oz can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1 tbsp The Spice Girl Kitchen Italian Seasoning
The Spice Girl Kitchen Tri-Salt Blend & pepper, to taste
1 cups kale, chopped
4 tbsp shredded parmesan cheese, for serving

Method

In a large pot over medium heat, add the oil and the Italian sausage. Sautee for 5-7 minutes or until the sausage is no longer pink.
Add in the onion and celery. Saute for an additional 3-5 minutes or until the onions become translucent.
Add in the garlic and saute 1 additional minute.
Add in the tortellini, chicken broth, fire-roasted tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for about 5 minutes.
In the last minute of cooking, add the kale and stir it into the soup. It should soften and turn bright green.
Serve hot with parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

Notes

Store & Reheat

As a general rule of thumb, soup tends to store and reheat well because the broth helps it retain its flavor and quality. Just one more reason to love this recipe!

Store

Fridge: Transfer the dish to a large glass storage container with an airtight lid. Allow it to cool to room temperature before securing the lid (about 30-45 minutes; the exact time depends on the amount of meat). Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Freezer: You can also freeze the soup for up to 3 months. Make sure there is enough broth to cover all of the ingredients - you may need to add some before freezing. Place the soup in the fridge to thaw overnight for best results.

Reheat

Microwave: Place soup in a microwave-safe dish, cover, and microwave on high for 1-3 minutes or until heated through. If reheating larger amounts, stir halfway through to warm it evenly.*

Stovetop: Place soup in a pot over medium-high heat. Once the soup is simmering, reduce to medium-low and cover for 3-5 minutes or until heated through. Stir occasionally.*

Oven: Not recommended.

* Total time depends on the amount you are reheating.
