This hearty stew is a spin on a classic Italian pasta e fagioli, or “pasta and beans.” Here we swap cheese tortellini in for the pasta and then bulk it up with wilted kale and fennel-y crumbled sausage. The aromatic tomato broth is enhanced with a little cream right before serving, for a soup that will warm you on any chilly night.
