Ingredients
  

Soup Base
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound Italian sausage casings removed
  • 4 cups chicken broth low sodium
  • 4 cups butternut squash peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup carrots sliced
  • 1 cup tortellini fresh or frozen
  • 2 cups kale chopped
  • 1 teaspoon thyme dried
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to taste

Method
 

Prepare the Soup
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and Italian sausage to the pot. Cook until the sausage is browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 7-10 minutes.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the cubed butternut squash and sliced carrots. Cook for 15 minutes or until the squash is tender.
  4. Stir in the tortellini and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the tortellini is cooked through.
  5. Add the chopped kale, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the kale is wilted.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot.
