Like Olive Garden…only better! An easy, flavorful soup with potatoes, bacon, kale and parmesan. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage
  • 1 cup diced onions
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 6 cups chicken broth (or 6 cups water and 2 Tbsp Better than Bouillon Chicken Base)
  • 4 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 34 cups chopped kale or spinach
  • 3/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in the sausage and break it up. Add in the onions. Brown for about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic for 30 seconds. Pour in the broth and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. Turn off Instant Pot.
  2. Add in the potatoes.
