Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time30 minutes
Ingredients
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 lb. Italian sausage, casings removed
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, diced
2 tsp. Italian seasoning
salt and pepper, to taste
2 Tbsp. all purpose flour
4 cups chicken broth
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
9 oz. cheese tortellini
½ bunch of kale, stems removed and leaves chopped
⅓ cup heavy cream

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a dutch oven over medium heat. Add in the sausage and cook and crumble it into small pieces. When the sausage has fully cooked, drain the excess fat from the pan.
Mix in the garlic, onion, and italian seasoning. Cook until the onions turn translucent then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Whisk in the flour and cook until it turns a light golden brown. Slowly whisk in the chicken stock and tomato sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil then reduce the heat to low so that it is simmering. Simmer, while stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until it has thickened.
Add in the tortellini and cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Then add in the kale and mix until it wilts. Mix in the heavy cream and chopped basil. Cook for about 1 minute. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Enjoy!

Take a trip to Mexico without leaving your kitchen! This Spanish-inspired Fideo soup (Sopa de Fideo) is perfect to cozy up with any time of the year. Plus, this recipe only requires 30 minutes of cook time, so it is great for a quick weeknight meal!
In Spanish, fideo translates to noodles, which is fitting considering this soup is filled with them! The noodles typically used in this soup are thin and are broken up and browned before being added to the soup. For added flavor, this recipe calls for a can of chili ready tomato sauce, and a can of petite diced tomatoes with green chilies, lime, and cilantro. These flavors pair perfectly together, therefore creating a dish that everyone in your family is sure to love.
Just because this meal can be made in under 30 minutes doesn’t mean that it sacrifices nutrition! In fact, it’s just the opposite thanks to the addition of canned tomatoes. This pantry staple is a great way to keep cook time down while making a meal as nutritious as possible. Before being canned, tomatoes are cooked at peak ripeness, which captures their delicious flavor and enhances the lycopene content (which is a powerful antioxidant). Regularly consuming canned tomatoes can help reduce your risk of diseases like cancer and cardiovascular disease!
