Kielbasa Soup With Chard Cheese Tortellini Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil, fry sausage until beginning to brown, add vegetables and sauté until tender and translucent-15-20 minutes.
• Add broth and bring to a boil, add beans and kale and simmer 15 minutes or so. Add tortellini to soup and simmer until pasta is tender (about 5 more minutes).
• May serve topped with some freshly grated 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.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic in oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and smoked sausage and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the diced tomatoes, broth, tortellini, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes, then stir in spinach and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat a stockpot with the olive oil. Add the pepper flakes, rosemary, salt, onion, bell pepper and garlic. Saute until the onions are just beginning to color and add the mushrooms. Saute for about five minutes or until the mushrooms are losing their liquid.
• Add the Swiss chard and the better than bouillon and cook until the swiss chard is starting to wilt, about three or four minutes.
• Add the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil.
• When the soup is gently boiling add the tortellini.
• If using frozen tortellini allow them to cook for about 5 minutes before adding the tomatoes.
• If using fresh let them cook for about 2 minutes before adding the tomatoes.
• Once you've added the tomatoes stir, reduce heat to medium and allow to simmer for about 8 minutes.
