Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage (hot or mild)
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 3 medium garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • ½ teaspoon mustard powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 5 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups finely chopped kale (or spinach)
  • 2 cups refrigerated cheese tortellini (about 10 ounces)
  • salt, to taste
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, cook the sausage over medium-high heat for 4 minutes using a spatula to break up the meat. Add the onion and cook for 5 to 6 minutes- until the onion has softened and the sausage is cooked through.
  • Tilt the pan and spoon out and discard any grease that has accumulated in the pan. Add the garlic and continue to cook for 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring continuously. Stir in basil, hot sauce, mustard powder, oregano, pepper and cayenne (if using). Add the chicken broth in small amounts and use a rubber spatula to deglaze the pot. Stir in the cream, bring to a boil and then reduce to simmer.
  • Add the tortellini, and simmer for 3 minutes. Add the kale, and continue to simmer until the tortellini is cooked through (2 to 5 minutes).
  • Taste the soup, and season with salt as needed. Transfer to individual serving bowls, and top with a pinch of red pepper flakes.
