For these cold weather, recovery days, I adapted the recipe from Gimme Some Oven for some Zuppa Toscana soup. Who doesn't love the comfort that a good, hot bowl of soup brings. I made a lot of soup, so we were able to eat it for several days. I do not consider myself a "fancy" chef, but I think that I did well with this one. My husband at least thought so! He couldn't stop eating it! :) A wife win! :P
What you need:
1 lb. of ground Italian sausage (I used the hot kind)
1 small onion, diced
1/2 red pepper
4 cups of chicken stock
1 bunch of kale (I only used half of the bunch, but you can't buy a half bunch! :P)
1 lb. cheese tortellini
1/4 cup cream cheese
salt & pepper
What you do:
1. In a large stock pan, Add the sausage and onion. Over medium-high heat, begin to brown the sausage. When it is about half way browned, add the red pepper too. While the sausage is cooking, break up the meat chunks. Once done, try to drain the extra grease, if you are able.
2. Add the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a light boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low add the kale and tortellini. Mix it all together. Let the mixture cook, covered, for about 5 minutes (make sure that the tortellini is cooked). Add the cream cheese and mix it in. Season with salt and pepper.
Although it was a rather simple recipe, it had great results and tasted like it was a lot harder to make than it actually was! I have already bought the ingredients to make this again! Husband will be happy. :)
