• 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

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and celery to the pot, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 5

Pour in 6 cups of chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 6

While the broth is heating, wash and chop the kale into bite-sized pieces, removing any tough stems.

Step 7

Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the kale, browned kielbasa, dried thyme, and oregano. Stir well.

Step 8

Season the soup with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 9

Simmer the soup for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to the package instructions, usually 4-6 minutes, or until tender.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top for added flavor.
