INGREDIENTS
3 tbs extra-virgin olive oil
12 to 16 ounces fully cooked chicken sausage, cut into 1/2-in pieces
1 large fennel, bulb coarsely chopped, stalks thinly sliced, fronds finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
Salt and pepper
6 cups chicken broth
2 cups chopped vegetables (such as snap or snow peas, green beans, asparagus, kale, or spinach), or frozen peas
Grated parmesan, for serving

PREPARATION

  • 15m
    Step 1

    Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high. Add the sausage and cook, stirring once or twice, until browned and crisp all over, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the chopped fennel bulb and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook, scraping up the browned bits as you go, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes.

    Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the broth is flavorful, 5 to 7 minutes. Scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

    Step 3

    Add the tortellini and cook according to package directions. In the last three minutes of the tortellini cooking, add the chopped vegetables and up to ½ cup sliced fennel stalks. (For some tortellini, that might mean adding the vegetables with the pasta.)
