- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 5 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups kale (chopped)

- Gradually pour in chicken broth while scraping the bottom of the pot to combine flavors. Slowly stir in heavy cream and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to simmer and add chopped kale and tortellini; cook for about 3-5 minutes until heated through.
