Description

A comforting and flavorful Instant Pot Zuppa Toscana recipe, featuring a hearty combination of Italian sausage, bacon, potatoes, and kale in a creamy broth. Perfect for a cozy night in!


Ingredients

Units Scale

Bacon:

  • 3 strips Thick Cut Smoky Bacon, chopped

Italian Sausage Mixture:

  • 2 lbs Ground Hot Italian Sausage (use 1/2 hot and 1/2 mild if you don’t like spicy)

Vegetables:

  • 1 Large Onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
  • 4 large cloves Garlic, pressed or minced
  • 46 Medium Potatoes, halved and sliced 1/2 inch thick
  • 1 Bunch of Kale** chopped, with rib removed

Broth and Cream:

  • 6 cups Chicken Broth, low sodium
  • 11 1/2 cups Heavy Cream (or whole milk, half and half, etc.)

Optional:

  • 12ounce Pkg Frozen Chopped Spinach (thawed) or fresh Baby Spinach*

Instructions

  1. Cook Bacon: Turn the Instant Pot to Sauté mode, and add the chopped bacon. Cook until the bacon renders out most of its fat. Remove and set aside.
  2. Brown Sausage: Add the sausage to the pot and brown it. Spoon out excess fat, leaving 1 tablespoon.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: Add onions, oregano, and garlic. Stir until onions are translucent.
  4. Add Broth and Potatoes: Pour in broth, scraping the bottom. Add potatoes and cooked bacon.
  5. Pressure Cook: Close lid, set to Manual for 5 minutes. Allow a Natural Pressure Release.
  6. Finish Soup: Add kale/spinach, then stir in heavy cream. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Cook time is the time the soup cooks under pressure.
  • You can use spinach instead of kale.
  • No additional salt needed due to sausage seasoning.
