Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large stockpot, pour in about 2 tablespoons of olive oil and set over medium heat until it shimmers.
  2. Add in 1 pound of Italian sausage and cook for about 3-5 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, toss in the minced garlic and diced sweet onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent.
  4. Sprinkle in about 2 tablespoons of flour, whisking continuously to create a roux. Cook for about 1 minute until lightly browned.
  5. Pour in 4 cups of chicken stock and mix in 1 cup of tomato sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
  6. Gently fold in a 9-ounce package of three-cheese tortellini. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender.
  7. Introduce a half bunch of chopped kale to the pot, stirring until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  8. Finally, pour in ⅓ cup of heavy cream, stirring gently. Let simmer for an additional minute and adjust seasoning as necessary.
