Cold Day Ravioli Soup

We are in for frigid weather for at least a week and that means soup to me.  I made one of my families favorite ones, ravioli soup.
 

It's easy to make and is so good served with garlic bread.
 

The Recipe:

• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1# Italian sausage
  
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 2 chicken bouillon cubes 
• 2 tsp. Italian seasoning
  
• 8 ounces cheese ravioli or tortellini or both
• 2 cans tomato soup
  
• 4 oz. sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped fine
  
• 1/2 cup parmesan), grated
• 8 ounces kale  (coarsely chopped)
• salt and pepper to taste

1. Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat, add the sausage, spices, the onion and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add the kale.
   
2. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about a minute.
3. Add the broth and bouillon and bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer covered about 10 minutes. Add the tomato soup.
   
4. Add the tortellini and/or ravioli along with the sundried tomatoes and simmer until the tortellini is tender, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Mix in the parmesan and cook until the cheese has blended in before seasoning with salt and pepper to taste

 Stay warm out there!
