Reviews
Loved it just prefer cheese filled noodles instead but husband loves potatoes so ♀️ used spinach instead of kale. Don’t like kale.
A little bland. Sprinkled some parmesan on top after serving. I will add canellini beans next time as others suggested.
I added a can of white kidney beans and substituted spinach for the kale and used evaporated milk instead of the half and half. Served with grated grana padano on top. Yummy.
This recipe is a great crowd pleaser. I have made it several times and always receive multiple compliments. I also add a can of cannellini beans and I really liked the addition.
Epic
Excellent recipe! Turned out equal to or better than the one at the Olive Garden. Simple to make and so delicious.
My go to on rainy days! Easy and quick to make
Absolutely awesome! Used 1/2 regular sausage and 1/2 hot sausage. Have the soup a gentle kick in flavor without making it too spicy! Have made many times and it never disappoints!!!
It turned out great. I didn’t brown the sausage and onions in the Instant Pot but that was by choice.
I made this as a stovetop recipe and didn’t make any ingredient changes and it was delicious .
I don’t like kale, so I used spinach instead. This dish turned out delicious, everybody served themselves two times (I adjusted it for 8)
I thought it turned out great.
Excellent soup recipe.
This is an AMAZING recipe. Easy to make and tastes incredible!! I did use spinich instead of Kale.
I loved this recipe. My family’s favorite soup is the Super Delicious Zuppa Toscana from this website, but this Instant Pot version was quicker and easier and didn’t sacrifice taste at all! Like other reviewers, I used spinach instead of kale and it was great.
Very simple to make and great flavor. Even the leftover soup the next day is good. I so rarely find an Instant Pot recipe I like that I am glad I found this one.
So simple to make and I got raving reviews!
I used hot Italian sausage I had in the freezer and it was a little spicy but a little cheese balanced & brought it all together. It was amazingly delicious!
No changes, it’s bang’n. Great soup!
Overall: I Added more cubed potatoes and added 2 cups more of chicken stock to the recipe. . I dredged the Italian sausage after lightly cooking in a frying pan prior to starting the dish in the instant pot. Everything else was a wonderful recipe but enhanced by a bit more volume.
Excellent recipe, especially for a winter afternoon.
