Instructions

Step 1: Note: The mustard powder and hot sauce are so subtle in this soup but help enhance the other flavors, so although you may be hesitant to add them, I highly recommend it!
Step 2: 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.
Step 3: Add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Step 4: Add basil, oregano, cayenne, hot sauce, mustard powder, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
Step 5: 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.
Step 6: Add the kale and tortellini and simmer for 3-5 minutes. (If your tortellini needs longer cooking time, add the tortellini first, then the kale during the last 5 minutes.).
Step 7: Taste the soup and add salt if desired. Start with ¼ tsp and add more after that if needed.
Step 8: Transfer to serving bowls and serve! (This is great with Garlic Bread with Cheese!).
