Ingredients
1/2 pound (or so) fresh pork chorizo1 tbsp olive oil1 cup diced onions1 cup diced carrots1 cup diced celery1/2 cu sliced mushrooms2 cloves garlic, minced1 cup pearl onions, peeledsalt, pepper, and herbs to taste1/2 cup red wine1 can diced tomatoes with green chiles, undrained4 cups beef broth2 cups chicken broth12oz cheese tortellini1 1/2 cups greens (mustard, collard, spinach, arugula)6 tbsp shredded parmesan
Directions
Heat large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chorizo and saute until it begins to brown, about 10 minutes. Remove chorizo from pan with a slotted spoon. Discard remaining oil and wipe out the pan.

Add olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add onion, carrots, celery, and mushrooms. Sautee until vegetables are crisp-tender and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and pearl onions and stir occasionally. Let vegetables simmer until pearl unions begin to brown.

Add the wine and deglaze the pan; scraping up the browned bits. Add salt, pepper, and herbs to taste (I used Italian seasoning and thyme).

Return the chorizo to the pan. Add the tomatoes and the broth to the pan. Bring to a boil. Add the tortellini, lower the heat, cover and simmer until tortellini is done, about 15 minutes. (If you are using fresh tortellini, adjust your time accordingly).

Add greens and stir until greens wilt, about 2 minutes. Serve with a tablespoon of grated parmesan on top. Serving size is approximately 1 3/4 - 2 cups each. Serves 6.
