Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the spicy Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, crushed red chili flakes, and smoked paprika, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the canned diced tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and return the cooked sausage to the pot.
Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the chopped kale and heavy cream, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the kale is wilted and the soup is heated through.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil. Serve hot and enjoy!
