Cooking Instructions

  • Remove the casings from the sausage if you purchased links. Cook and crumble the sausage and diced onions over medium-high heat until the onions are softened and the sausage is cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Drain grease. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  • Add basil, oregano, cayenne, hot sauce, mustard powder, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
  • Add the chicken broth and use a silicone spatula to clean the bottom of the pot. Slowly stir in the heavy cream. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer.
  • Add the kale and tortellini and simmer for 3-5 minutes.
  • Taste the soup and add salt if desired. Start with ¼ teaspoon and add more after that if needed.
  • Transfer to serving bowls and serve!

Notes

The mustard powder and hot sauce enhance the other flavors, so it's recommended to add them even if hesitant.
