Instructions

  • Heat a large soup pot over medium heat. When hot add the olive oil and ground chicken and cook until browned, about 4 minutes, crumbling as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
  • Stir in onion and cook for 2 minutes. Add in the garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and flour. Whisk until combined.
  • Stir in chicken stock and tomato sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Pour in the tortellini. Cover the pot and simmer for 5-8 minutes, until the pasta is tender.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Stir to incorporate.
  • Add the kale and mix well. Wait for 1-2 minutes for the kale to wilt before serving.

Notes

  • You can replace the ground chicken with store-bought rotisserie chicken. It adds a rich flavor and cuts down on prep time.
  • Look for fresh or refrigerated tortellini for a quicker cook time and better texture.
  • Chop all your vegetables and measure out spices before you start cooking. This helps streamline the process and ensures everything is ready to go when you need it.
  • If you don't like kale you can replace it with spinach or leave it out all together.
