    Ingredients

    • Cannellini Beans
    • Minced Garlic
    • Carrots
    • Yellow Onion
    • Olive Oil
    • Sea Salt
    • Italian Seasoning
    • Dried Basil
    • Coarse Ground Black Pepper
    • Italian Style Turkey Sausage
    • Diced Tomatoes
    • Kale
    • Bay Leaves
    • Gluten Free Pasta Shells
    • Chicken Broth
    • Parmesan Cheese

    Instructions

    Set your Instant Pot to saute and add olive oil to the pot. Add the garlic, carrots and onion to the pot and saute until the onion is translucent and the carrots are beginning to soften. 

    Add the rinsed beans, salt, Italian seasoning, dried basil, pepper, diced tomatoes, crumbled sausage, kale, bay leaves and broth. Stir to combine. 

    Add the uncooked pasta on top, but do not stir to combine. Gently press the pasta down a little until it is covered in liquid. This will prevent your pasta from burning on the bottom of the pot.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I clean my instant pot after cooking savory dishes?

    After using your instant pot for savory dishes or in this case using spices you may notice that the silicone ring in the lid has an odor. This is simple to take care of!

    Wash the metal pot insert by hand or in the dishwasher. Remove the rubber seal from the lid and wash both the lid (don't submerge the lid in water) and the ring. Place the ring back into the lid.

    Put the metal pot into the pressure cooker. Add one cup water and one cup white vinegar to the metal pot. Place the lid on the pot and seal. Manually cook for 3 minutes. Let the steam release naturally.

    After the liquid has cooled, dump it out and rinse the pot, lid and seal. Your pot, lid and seal shouldn't have any lingering odors.

    Do I have to use turkey sausage in this recipe?

    No. You could omit the turkey sausage and still have a delicious soup. Since the turkey sausage I used for this recipe had some Italian seasonings added I would increase the Italian seasoning in this recipe to 2 teaspoons.

    You could also use unseasoned sausage and also add the extra Italian seasoning to get the same flavor. I like to add the meat to this recipe to make it extra hearty with more protein, but that is completely optional.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I reheat soup in my Instant Pot?

    The first night I make soup in my Instant Pot I let it cool completely. Then I put the lid on or plastic wrap over top and store it in the refrigerator. The next night when I want to reheat the soup I take it out of the fridge and remove the plastic wrap.

    I place the stainless pot back in my Instant Pot and put the lid on making sure it's set to sealed. Then I press the manual button and set the time for 3 minutes. The soup will heat up while it's coming to pressure and it only takes a short amount of time to have hot soup ready to serve.

    How much liquid do you need in the instant pot for soups?

    The official instant pot manual calls for at least 8 ounces or 1 cup of liquid for the instant pot to come to pressure. For this recipe you will be using 32 ounces of vegetable broth. That is more than enough liquid for your pressure pot to work properly.

    Top Tip

    This soup is a great dairy free soup option. When I created this recipe I wanted a soup that was lighter, but still creamy and delicious. I love to make a pressure pot of this soup for my lunches when I'm meal prepping.
