Step-by-Step Instructions for Sausage Tortellini Soup
  1. In a large pot, crumble the Italian sausage and add the diced onion. Cook over medium-high heat for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and the onions are translucent.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Next, sprinkle in the flour, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  3. Incorporate the dried basil, oregano, cayenne pepper, mustard powder, and pepper, mixing well.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth slowly, scraping up any browned bits. Gradually stir in the heavy cream, then bring to a gentle boil. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Add the chopped kale and tortellini, stirring gently. Simmer for another 3-5 minutes, or until the tortellini is tender.
  6. Taste the soup and adjust salt as desired. Ladle into bowls, garnish, and serve warm.
