Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 lb (450g) hot Italian sausage
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bunch kale, leaves stripped and chopped
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
Liquids and Seasonings:
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Garnish:
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Activate the Instant Pot’s sauté function and brown the Italian sausage, methodically breaking it into crumbly pieces using a wooden utensil until it develops a light golden hue, approximately 3-5 minutes.
- Eliminate excess rendered fat from the meat, ensuring a cleaner base for the soup.
- Introduce minced garlic, diced onions, and dried oregano into the pot, sautéing until the onions become translucent and aromatic, roughly 2-3 minutes.
- Pour chicken broth into the pot, incorporating sun-dried tomatoes and freshly cracked black pepper to enhance the flavor profile.
- Secure the Instant Pot lid, engage the manual high-pressure setting, and program the timer for 5 minutes of concentrated cooking.
- Once the cooking cycle completes, perform a rapid pressure release to halt the cooking process immediately.
- Gently fold chopped kale into the soup, allowing the leaves to wilt and soften for 1-2 minutes, integrating their vibrant green color and nutrient-rich texture.
- Stream heavy cream into the soup, stirring continuously to create a luxurious, velvety consistency and heat the liquid thoroughly.
- Taste and fine-tune the seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed to balance the flavors.
- Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley before serving the soup piping hot.
Notes
- Instant Pot magic transforms simple ingredients into a restaurant-worthy dish, bringing Italian-inspired comfort right to your kitchen.
