Zuppa Toscana Instructions
The Instant Pot has terrified me for way too long. I bought one because of all the hype and then when I pulled it out of the box and saw all the buttons, I promptly put it back and left it in my kitchen unused for a while. That thing is intimidating! But once I took some time to read the directions things started to come together. It also helped that my husband is familiar with using old school pressure cookers and it basically works the same way so he schooled me on all things Instant Pot. I knew there was a reason I married him!
Step 1: To start, you will need push the sauté mode button on your Instant Pot. Once it gets hot, add in your oil garlic and onions. Continue to sauté until the onions become tender.
Step 2: Next, you will add in your Italian sausage and continue cooking for another few minutes. I like to use a chopstir to break into crumbles. Then press “Cancel” to turn the Instant Pot off sauté mode.
Step 3: Add your chicken broth and potatoes to the instant pot alone with the Italian seasoning. Cover and set your valve to “sealing”. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
Step 4: Once your soup is ready, flip the nozzle to “Venting” for a quick pressure release. I typically use a wooden spoon for this to steer clear of the hot steam.
Step 5: From here, all you need to do is add your coconut milk and kale. Add in the coconut milk first and stir to combine. Then toss in your kale. The kale will soften pretty quickly with the liquid and heat.
Step 6: Mix thoroughly and add some salt and pepper to taste before serving. I also love to garnish with red pepper flakes, parsley and crumbled bacon for extra flavor!
