Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 12 ounces Kielbasa sausage
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 medium Carrots
- 2 stalks Celery stalks
- 6 cups Chicken broth
- 4 cups Kale
- 9 ounces Cheese tortellini
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Slice the kielbasa sausage into half-inch rounds and add them to the pot. Cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes, then remove and set aside.
Dice the onion, mince the garlic cloves, and slice the carrots and celery. Add the diced onion to the same pot and cook for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and celery to the pot, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes until they start to soften.
Pour in 6 cups of chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
While the broth is heating, wash and chop the kale into bite-sized pieces, removing any tough stems.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the kale, browned kielbasa, dried thyme, and oregano. Stir well.
Season the soup with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Simmer the soup for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to the package instructions, usually 4-6 minutes, or until tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top for added flavor.
