Chicken Sausage, Tortellini, and Kale Soup

1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil for the tortellini.
2. In a separate large pot over medium-high heat, sauté onions, garlic, carrots, and celery in olive oil with salt and pepper for 4-5 minutes until veggies are almost tender.
3. Add the sausage and cook for 3-4 minutes (until cooked through), breaking it into small pieces with your spatula.
4. Add the Kitchen Basics Original Chicken Stock and bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer; cover and simmer on low for 5 minutes.
5. Stir in the kale and cook for 1-2 minutes until just wilted and tender (avoid overcooking the kale to maintain its vibrant green color).
6. In the separate pot of boiling water, cook the tortellini 1-2 minutes less than package directions, then drain.
7. Add tortellini to the soup as you serve it (to prevent it from getting soggy in the broth) and top with parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
