I call this the Instant Pot Zuppa Toscana as I use an Instant Pot for this recipe – it is so easy! Tuscan soup is a favorite nourishing meal in my house. I love it – it’s hearty, tasty and full of flavor.
To make this soup, start by browning sausage and crisping bacon in the Instant Pot. Then remove the cooked meat from the pot and cook onions and garlic. Return the cooked sausage to the pot along with chicken broth and potatoes and cook. Combine flour or cornstarch and heavy cream and add it to the pot, along with the kale. Stir often and let heat through. Season and serve in large bowls, topped with bacon. Enjoy!
To make Instant Pot Zuppa Toscana, you will need the following ingredients:
Heat a small drizzle of oil in a 6-quart Instant Pot on the sauté setting. Add 1 pound of sausage and brown while crumbling as it cooks. Once cooked, transfer the sausage to a plate.
Fry 8 diced slices of bacon in the Instant Pot until crisp. Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate with the sausage.
Add 1 diced onion and 2 minced cloves of garlic to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Return the cooked sausage to the Instant Pot along with 32 ounces of chicken broth and 4 diced potatoes.
Switch the Instant Pot to the manual setting and adjust pressure to high and set the time for 5 minutes. When the soup is cooked, allow the pressure to release for 10 minutes, followed by a controlled quick release. Open the lid once the pin drops.
Combine 2 tablespoons of flour or cornstarch and 1 cup of heavy cream. Add the mixture to the pot, along with ½ a bunch of kale and 1/2 a cooked bacon pieces. Stir often and let heat through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve in large soup bowls garnished with the remaining bacon pieces.
