    2 quarts chicken broth
    1/2 cup dry white wine (I used chardonnay)
    1/4 cup shaved parmesan cheese
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 garlic clove, finely minced
    1 -2 chicken bouillon cube
Preparation
    In a large pot head up olive oil. Brown the sausage. Add in garlic cooking until fragrant.
    Pour in white wine. cook until reduced completely.
    Transfer sausage into a bowl, and set aside.
    Add in broth & bring to a boil. Be sure to scrape off any brown bits from the bottom. Before adding your pasta, taste the both. If it's too bland, add up to 2 chicken bouillon (2 TBSP) to flavor. Add in tortellini and cook for 2 minutes less recommended time on the package, leaving the lid cracked open to let the steam come out.
    Once timer goes off add in the beans.
    Then the kale & sausage. Remove from heat & let sit covered for 2 minutes.
    Serve into bowls, garnishing with parmesan.
