Creamy Tortellini Soup with Kale
This soup is hearty and eats almost like a pasta dish. I make this in the slow cooker, but it could easily be made in a stock pot over the stove. Use baby spinach instead of kale if you don't like bitter greens.
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Turn your slow cooker to high and add 4 cups water and the bouillon cubes. I use Bou brand.
* Step 2
In a skillet, brown the sausage breaking up the large pieces.
* Step 3
Add the sausage to the slow cooker.
* Step 4
Saute the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic until softened.
* Step 5
Add the vegetables, and the Italian seasoning to the slow cooker. Cook on high for 4 hours, or low for 7 hours.
* Step 6
Turn the cooker to high if not already and add the evorated milk. Allow to come to a simmer (~30 min)
* Step 7
Stir the corn starch and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl. All the starch slurry and frozen tortellini to the soup and cook until the pasta is soft (~30 min).
* Step 8
Add the kale, submerging with a spoon, and cook until the kale wilts and is tender (~10 min).
* Step 9
Adjust the consistency of the soup with water or milk. I used about a cup. Season with salt and pepper to taste and plate in bowls with crusty bread.
