How to Make Low Carb Zuppa Toscana in an Instant Pot
Cris here.
I am so excited to partner with the Carton Council to share with you one of my all time favorite soups! (Disclaimer: This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Carton Council. The opinions and text are all mine. )
How to Recycle Cartons
With all our holiday cooking and crock pot cooking in general, we are going through tons of broth! Broth adds tons of flavor to all kinds of dishes and in this house we always buy it by the carton. The Carton Council is trying to build awareness that those broth cartons are recyclable. Finding out how to recycle your cartons can be a lot of fun with the kiddos. You can visit their websiteand enter your zipcode to learn how to recycle cartons in your community and even take a pledge to recycle your cartons and join their community of people across the country that care about recycling and reducing waste, saving energy and making a difference in their communities. If you do, you will be helping them reach their goal of 10K pledges!
Making Instant Pot Zuppa Toscana Soup
I have loved Zuppa Toscana Soup for years and we have made in for years in our crock pot and more recently we have started making Low Carb Zuppa Toscana Soup. You guys know how I love to turn my favorite slow cooker meals into easy instant pot recipes for days when we don’t have a full day to crock, so naturally, Zuppa Toscana was a must convert recipe!
How to Deglaze a Pot
One of the reasons I love making Zuppa Toscana Soup in our Electric Pressure Cooker is that it allow us to brown the sausage and bacon in the pot on the browning setting. At first glance you might be worried that the sausage sticks a little as it browns, but don’t worry. During the broth step you can gently scrape the bottom of the pan while you stir and those delicious brown bits come right off the bottom easy as can be (the fancy cooking term for this is “deglazing”).
Instant Pot Zuppa Toscana Soup Recipe Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork sausage
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1 lb bacon, diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken or beef broth
- 1 cup potatoes or cauliflower (to make low carb), cut into bite sized chunks
- 2 cups kale, thinly sliced with woody parts removed
- 1 cup whipping cream

I’ve used this recipe about twenty times! I either use coconut milk or half-n-half. It’s no fail every time. I only use those to cut the calories. I’ve used both potatoes & cauliflower, just cauliflower &, like tonight, just just potatoes. They are the small creamy mashers. I cooked my soup at 26 mins vice the 30 to have a firmer potato because we plan to eat this for lunch through the week. Wanted the potatoes to hold up more. I really appreciate such finely tuned recipes as this. You can’t mess it up if you follow the directions. It’s BETTER than Olive Garden!!! ,Reply
