Instructions
heat oil in dutch oven or large stock pot over medium high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking up with the back of your spoon until fully cooked and crumbly.
Add onion, garlic, and spices, and cook another few minutes, until onion is soft and garlic fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth and add tortellini, bring to a boil and cook just until tortellini is cooked.
Stir in nutpods (or milk) and shredded kale and cook another 2-3 minutes until kale is wilted.
Adjust salt and pepper, then serve warm topped with parmesan!
