Making this restaurant-style meal prep recipe is simple. The best part is that the meal is done in 35 minutes.
Start by heating a 4-quart Dutch oven over medium heat. Once heated, add your spicy Italian pork sausage and brown for 5 minutes. Break up the browning sausage into crumbs with a wooden spoon. Then add onion and bell pepper and continue cooking the sausage for 5 minutes. Continue to stir occasionally during those 5 minutes. After that time has passed, stir in oregano, sea salt, tomato paste, fire-roasted tomatoes, and chicken stock. Enjoy the mouthwatering smells that come from the Dutch oven as the chicken broth start to boil. Let everything boil for 10 minutes. At the 10-minute mark, stir in kale and tortellini and boil for 5 minutes longer. The last thing to do is turn off the heat and slowly mix in your heavy cream. Now you have a delectable and nutritious Spicy Italian Sausage and Tortellini Soup to call your own!
