1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Cook the Base
Sauté the Onion and Garlic: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Build the Soup
Add the Broth and Cream: Pour in the vegetable broth and heavy cream (or coconut milk), stirring to combine.
Incorporate Tortellini: Add the tortellini to the pot, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Cook according to package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes.
Add the Kale
Stir in the Kale: Once the tortellini is cooked, add the chopped kale and dried Italian seasoning. Stir until the kale wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
Season to Taste: Season the soup with salt and pepper to your liking.
Serve
Garnish and Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot.
