This hearty, comforting soup comes together fast and is packed with flavor—perfect for busy nights.

Ingredients

1–1½ lbs ground beef 1 white onion, chopped 2–3 cloves garlic, minced Beef broth or beef bone broth (enough to cover, about 6–8 cups) 4 cups chopped kale Salt & pepper, to taste 1 package cheese tortellini (I use gluten-free) ¼ cup heavy cream

For serving

Chopped fresh basil Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

In a large pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat with the chopped onion and garlic until beef is browned and onions are soft. Drain excess grease if needed. Add beef broth or bone broth to the pot. Bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the chopped kale and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the cheese tortellini and boil for 5–7 minutes, or until tender. Reduce heat and stir in the heavy cream. Serve warm, topped with fresh basil and Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Swap ground beef for ground turkey or Italian sausage if you want to mix it up. Thicker soup? Use less broth. Brothier soup? Add more. Leftovers reheat beautifully—just add a splash of broth if needed.
