# Instructions:

01 - Cook the onions and sausage on medium heat for about 8-10 minutes. Drain any extra grease, then toss in the garlic and let it cook for 60 seconds.
02 - Mix in the flour and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to cook it through.
03 - Toss all the spices and herbs into the pot. Stir it up so they're evenly mixed.
04 - Pour broth into the pot, making sure to loosen any bits stuck to the bottom. Gradually add the cream while stirring, then bring it to a boil before turning it down to simmer.
05 - Add in the tortellini and kale. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until the pasta's tender. Taste and add salt if needed.

# Notes:

01 - You can use spinach instead of kale.
02 - Throw in a parmesan rind for more flavor.
03 - This works in a slow cooker too.
