Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cups chicken broth low sodium best
  • 1 lb tortellini pasta cheese or spinach is best
  • 6 oz kale
  • 8 oz cheese of choice goat, cream cheese, mozzarella is best

Spices

  • 2 tsps paprika
  • 2 tsps salt
  • 2 tsps chicken bouillon
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the Italian sausage over medium heat. Break it into small pieces with a spoon as it cooks.
  • Once the sausage is browned, add minced garlic and white onion to the pot. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is aromatic.
  • Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the mixture.
  • Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously to incorporate it into the sausage mixture.
  • Add the low-sodium chicken broth to the pot, continuing to stir to combine all the ingredients.
  • Stir in the tortellini pasta, ensuring it is submerged in the liquid. Cook according to the package instructions or until the tortellini is al dente.
  • Once the tortellini is cooked, add the kale to the pot. Allow it to wilt and cook for a few minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the Cajun seasoning, paprika, salt, chicken bouillon, pepper, red pepper flakes, and cayenne pepper. Add this spice mixture to the soup, adjusting to taste if needed.
  • Add in cheese of choice and allow it to melt.
  • Let the soup simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
