Instant Pot Cauliflower, Sausage and Kale Soup Recipe

Put that new Instant Pot you received for Christmas to work and warm up with a big bowl of this Cauliflower, Sausage and Kale Soup.

It took me a long time to actually purchase an Instant Pot. I heard so many rave reviews, but had a hard time justifying adding another appliance to my kitchen.  I already had two “old style” pressure cookers that worked perfectly.

Let me tell you, friends, my instant pot is one of the best kitchen gadgets I’ve purchased in a long time!

It’s not that the food cooks faster in the Instant Pot than it does in my regular pressure cookers (it doesn’t), but the convenience of it is really what sold me.

With two young kids I don’t have the time (or the memory) to keep track of whistles, I love that with the Instant Pot I can just “set it and forget it.” It automatically releases pressure once it reaches the time I set.

This week, especially, I have been really thankful for my Instant Pot. Although Minnesota winters are always pretty cold, these past few days have been a real doozy. With windchills nearly reaching -40 degrees F –yes, MINUS 40 degrees–we haven’t got out of the house much.

Instead of making the trek to the grocery store, I’ve resolved to using up some of the foods I have in our freezer or pantry. We’ve been enjoying a lot of soups lately, and this recipe has definitely been a favorite!

Piyush said that it reminded him of Olive Garden’s Zuppa Toscana soup.  I suppose it is sort of a copy-cat recipe, but having never ordered the Zuppa Toscana I can’t be sure how close it is.

What I am sure of, is that this recipe is very simple and quite customizable. A single serving (just under 325 cals, as written) packs enormous flavor and is really filling. Adding the corn was my son Arjun’s idea, and it was genius. It added a nice texture to the soup and the yellow corn made it look a bit prettier, too.

If you are low-carb or keto, simply leave the corn out, and this soup should fit your plan. It is also a really great gluten-free option! Just be sure to check the labels on your sausage.

As always, if you make the recipe, I’d love to hear what you think! Let me know in the comments below.
