- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups kale, stems removed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Preparation Instructions:
- Begin by setting your Instant Pot to the saute function and allowing it to heat up. Once it’s ready, add a generous drizzle of olive oil to the pot.
- Next, introduce some Italian sausage into the sizzling oil. Allow it to cook until it achieves a beautiful, golden-brown hue. As it cooks, make sure to break the sausage into bite-sized pieces for a delightful texture.
- To enhance the flavors, pour in a mixture of chicken broth and water. Use a wooden spoon to gently scrape off any flavorful bits that may be stuck to the bottom of the pot. This step infuses your soup with a depth of savory goodness.
- Now, it’s time to bring in the key ingredients that make this soup exceptional: potatoes, onions, kale, garlic, and a dash of salt and pepper. Add them to the pot and give everything a gentle stir, allowing the flavors to mingle.
- With all the ingredients cozying up in your Instant Pot, it’s time to close the lid and set it to the sealing position.
- Select the soup setting on your Instant Pot and adjust the timerto 10 minutes at high pressure. Let the magic happen as your soup simmers and melds together.
- Once the cooking cycle is complete, perform a quick pressure release and carefully remove the lid to reveal the aromatic masterpiece.
- While the soup is still piping hot, it’s time to add a luxurious touch. Whisk in some velvety heavy cream and a bit of flour until they are perfectly combined. This step adds a creamy and luscious texture to your soup.
- Your sensational Italian sausage soup is now ready to be served! Ladle it into bowls, and savor the comforting flavors that will warm both body and soul. Enjoy!
