Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound mild Italian sausage, casing removed
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon dried oregano
3 russet potatoes, chopped
6 cups chicken broth
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
½ bunch kale, stems removed and leaves chopped
1 cup half and half
Directions
Grab your 6-qt instant pot and set it to high sauté.
Add the olive oil and toss in the sausage.
Cook that sausage, stirring it around frequently, until it's lightly browned. This'll take about 3-5 minutes. Make sure you're breaking it up as it cooks.
Drain off any extra fat. Nobody needs that mess!
Throw in the onion and cook it, stirring every so often, until it's nice and translucent. Should take about 3-4 minutes.
Add the garlic and oregano, stirring until you can really smell that goodness. Just about a minute.
Now add your potatoes and chicken broth.
Season with salt and pepper to your liking. I usually go a bit heavy on the pepper.
Switch over to the manual setting.
Set the pressure to high and the time to 5 minutes.
When it's done cooking, do a quick-release following your pot's instructions.
Stir in the kale until it wilts down. This'll take about 1-2 minutes.
Pour in the half and half, stirring until it's heated through. Another minute or so.
Give it a taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve it up right away while it's hot!
