Kielbasa Kale Tortellini Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the broth, spinach and kielbasa in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add beans and macaroni. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 7-9 minutes or until macaroni is tender. Stir in pepper sauce.

Steps:

• Roll kale leaves into tight tubes and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips.
• Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir kielbasa in hot oil until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir green onion with sausage; cook until onions soften, about 3 minutes. Add kale; cook and stir until kale wilts, about 3 minutes.
• Pour chicken broth over kielbasa mixture; add beans and stir. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cook at a simmer until kale is completely tender, about 15 minutes. Season mixture with salt and pepper and top with Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the kielbasa, garlic, onion, thyme, and red pepper flakes and saute until browned, about 12 minutes. ( I threw the garlic in after about 8 minutes of cooking.. didn't want it to burn.) Add the broth and tomatoes and bring to a boil . Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the beans and tortellini to the soup. Simmer until the pasta is just tender to the bite, about 10 minutes. Stir the spinach into the soup and turn off the heat; let stand for about 2 minutes. Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving. ** Please note , add tortellini at another time if you aren't going to eat this all right away. It will become mushy if stored and absorbs some of the soup. I recommend boiling it as needed al dente, then throwing it in the soup for a couple of minutes.
