Crockpot Tortellini Soup with Sausage and Kale

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 pound ground Italian turkey sausage - look for it sold ground in a package, or you can also squeeze it from the casings if links are your only option

1 large yellow onion - chopped (about 2 cups)

1 large fennel bulb - chopped (about 2 cups)

¾ teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons unsalted tomato paste - I like to buy the kind in the tube so I can use it for several recipes over time

3 cloves garlic - minced (about 1 tablespoon)

3 large carrots - chopped (about 1 ½ cups)

6 cups low-sodium chicken broth - plus additional as needed

1 (15-ounce) can fire roasted diced tomatoes in their juices

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

4 cups chopped stemmed curly or dinosaur kale - about half of an 8- to 10-ounce bunch

1 (9-ounce) package Buitoni 3-Cheese Tortellini

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Chopped fresh parsley
