This soup requires 4 ingredients not including the salt, pepper and grated cheese. The nice thing is you get plenty of nutrition from the kale in it. The tortellini is hearty and I buy turkey kielbasi from Trader Joe's which has less salt and no nitrates. Put the four ingredients together and you have one warming meal. This recipe makes plenty so you will have leftovers for another dinner or lunch the next day. It tastes great reheated. In the next few weeks I will have plenty more hearty soup recipes.
Tortellini Soup with Kielbasi and Kale
12 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 head kale, cored and chopped
12 ounces kielbasi, sliced (I used turkey)
2 (14 oz) packages frozen tortellini
salt and pepper to taste
Grated Parmesan cheese for serving
Heat broth on high heat in a large soup pot. Add kale and cook for 5 minutes or until wilted. Add kielbasi and tortellini and cook according to tortellini package directions which is typically 18 minutes or 4 minutes for precooked ones. Serve with grated cheese if desired.
REally - don't you love soup in seconds?!?! Because I love that.
Hi Lisa-
I love kielbasa, my moms all Polish. I have some fantastic kielbasa recipes..lmk if you want them. yours sounds great. Love tortellini also. I'll have to try.
Sounds good to me! I buy that turkey kielbasa from Trader Joe's too. I use it in gumbo!
LOVE this! I need soup in seconds (heck, even minutes sounds okay to me).
I've found that tortellini soup is always ready so quickly. I don't know why I don't use that piece of knowledge more.
I gotcha...it's a quick and satisfying soup...a meal here too!
It looks good, and quite elegant too!
We have been having many types of soup the past few weeks.
I have some kielbasa in the frig - I will be using it in my next soup recipe. I love tortellini in soups.
This looks so delicious. I agree, hearty soups are the way to go!
Simple soups are always the best. The flavors of each ingredient come through and not one of them gets lost like they do in more complex soups. I love the idea of using kale. Looks fantastic Lisa!
That looks like a really good soup. I love tortellini and kale. I think my son and husband would like this too!
That is a soup quickie and it looks delicious!
Such a great simple soup!
Lisa,
This looks so amazing! I was actually just thinking of making an italian version of this soup! It looks so yummy!
We're on the same wave length, I just bought some tortellini to make some soup with!
It would take me seconds to eat it too!
Looks great! I'm also still trying to convince my husband that he likes soup. He thinks it's not enough food. Eat two bowls, I say.
This looks great! I love when soups come together quickly.
That is my kind of soup. Quick and easy.
Oh I'm really liking this soup! I have to start using kale in soups...this looks perfect. And the easier the better! ๐
this would get me warm in seconds ๐ lovely soup!!
Lis,
Bought a bag of swiss chard and kale today at Traders (why?).
I would like to make a soup and I like your kielbasa idea!
I love everything about this soup - fast, easy and tasty!
This looks very good Lisa, aren't men silly!!
Yummy n inviting soup!
I just made something similar with spinach instead of kale. Yours looks good.
Love it Lisa. The less ingredients the better! Nothing like a warm soup to warm you right up!
I've never made this one before. I will try any soup once, and I love tortellini. Looks great!
It been cold here Lisa in England lately and a bowl of your wonderful soup would be perfect!!
It's great to be back blogging and viewing your creations once again ๐

Soup is the best! This one looks fantastic! And I love how quick it is!!
Yum! I love quick soups on cold nights.
I can eat soup ALL YEAR LONG! And I find that a bowl of soup and a slice of good bread is plenty.
After meeting my husband, I made soup for dinner, we ate it, I cleaned up and came back and he's like "what's for dinner?!"
I seriously could eat soup each night! Looks wonderful, Lisa.
Looks great no matter how long it took Lisa. ๐
Oh, I do so like quick and easy, this looks great, Lisa.
Loving this recipe! Thanks for sharing it. Hope you're having a wonderful start to the new year ๐
