Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 cup diced carrot
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup white wine optional
  • 6 cups chopped kale stems removed
  • 6 cups low or no sodium chicken broth
  • 14.5 ounce canned diced tomatoes undrained
  • 8 ounces tortellini
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Add the oil to a large skillet, Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed soup pot and heat it over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the diced onion, celery, carrot, and garlic. Sautee for 3-5 minutes or until the onion is soft and translucent.
  • Add the Italian seasoning and cook for an additional minute or until fragrant. Deglaze with the white wine (optional).
  • Transfer the veggies to a heavy bottomed soup pot if necessary, scraping out the pan. Add the kale, chicken broth and canned diced tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and cover. Cook for 20 minutes or until the kale is soft.
  • Add the cooked chicken and tortellini. Bring the soup back to a simmer and cook as long as the tortellini package suggests. Don't overcook the tortellini!
  • Season with salt and pepper and garnish with shredded Parmesan and fresh basil. Enjoy!
