Heat a large dutch oven or stock pot over medium high heat. Add a few Tablespoons of olive or avocado oil and ground beef. Break up and cook until crumbly.
Add onion, zucchini, and garlic, and cook 3-4 additional minutes, stirring frequently.
Next, add in diced tomatoes, beef broth, marinara, water, tomato paste, and spices. Toss to combine then bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat, cover with a lid and simmer for 10ish minutes.
Add tortellini and kale and cook for a few minutes until kale is wilted and tortellini cooked. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Serve in bowls with a generous amount of grated parmesan, a few dollops of ricotta, and chopped parsley. Enjoy!!
