Οδηγίες

In a large pot (I prefer cast iron), sauté onions, carrots and garlic, in olive oil for 3-4 minutes over medium heat. Add the parsley, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.

Create a well in the center of the cooking veggies and add the Italian sausage. As it cooks, break into small pieces. Cook through, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the chicken broth and turn the heat to high, bringing to a boil. When the water is boiling, add tortellini. Cook for 2 minutes, then turn the heat down to simmer.

Add the kale and mix. Simmer until the kale is cooked through. Turn off the heat. Add the cream and mix to combine.

Serve hot and garnish with fresh basil, if desired.
