Ingredients

Scale

Sausage and Base

  • 1 lb Italian sausage, crumbled
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Vegetables and Broth

  • 4 cups russet potatoes, peeled and sliced evenly
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 cups fresh kale, chopped

Finishing Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Brown the Sausage: Turn your Instant Pot to sauté mode and add olive oil. Crumble in the Italian sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes, creating a savory flavorful base.
  2. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Remove the sausage and set aside. In the same pot with the remaining fat, add diced onions and minced garlic. Sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes, enhancing the flavor depth.
  3. Add Potatoes, Broth, and Seasonings: Add peeled and sliced russet potatoes, pour in chicken broth, and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine before sealing the Instant Pot lid.
  4. Pressure Cook: Set the Instant Pot to pressure cook on high for 7 minutes. After cooking, carefully perform a quick release of pressure to avoid overcooking the potatoes.
  5. Finish with Kale and Cream: Open the lid and stir in the chopped kale, allowing it to wilt in the hot broth. Then add the heavy cream, stirring gently to achieve a velvety and comforting texture.

Notes

  • Use crumbled sausage to ensure even cooking and good distribution throughout the soup.
  • Perform a quick pressure release to prevent potatoes from becoming mushy.
  • Slice potatoes uniformly for consistent cooking results.
  • Add kale last to keep it vibrant and slightly crisp.
  • Add heavy cream gradually to adjust richness without overpowering the broth.
