Equipment

Instant Pot

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound mild Italian sausage casing removed
3 teaspoons minced garlic
1 medium onion diced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
3 russet potatoes peeled and chopped
6 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 cups baby kale roughly chopped
1 cup half and half

Instructions

Add the olive oil to the Instant Pot insert and heat on sauté mode. Add the Italian sausage to the insert and cook, breaking it into smaller pieces, until browned and cooked through. Remove the excess grease.
Add the garlic, onion, and Italian seasoning to the pot, and cook until the onion is softened. Stir in the potatoes, chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and turn the knob to Sealing. Press the Pressure Cook button (or Manual on older models) and set it to high pressure for 6 minutes. Let the pressure naturally release for 5 minutes, then turn the valve to Venting for a quick release. Stir in the kale and half and half until the kale is wilted. Serve immediately.

Notes

STORE leftover Instant Pot Zuppa Toscana in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To freeze, let the soup cool completely before transferring to a freezer-safe container or freezer bag. Leave some space at the top for expansion. For the best texture, FREEZE the soup before adding the half and half and kale. It will keep well frozen for up to 3 months.

Thaw overnight in the fridge, then REHEAT on the stovetop over medium heat until warmed through. You can also microwave in 1-minute intervals, stirring in between. The texture may change slightly, but the flavor will still be delicious.
