Instant Pot Creamy Keto Tuscan Soup (30-Minute Low-Carb Recipe)
This Instant Pot Creamy Keto Tuscan Soup is a rich, savory, low-carb Italian-inspired soup made with Italian sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, kale, and a silky cream broth. It delivers slow-simmered flavor in just 30 minutes.
Equipment
- Instant Pot (6-quart)
- Wooden spoon
- Knife and cutting board
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb Italian sausage (hot or mild)
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- salt and black pepper, to taste
- 0.75 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 bunch kale, chopped (leaves only)
- 0.25 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Set the Instant Pot to Sauté. Heat olive oil, add the Italian sausage, and cook until browned. Drain excess grease. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened.
- Stir in garlic, oregano, and basil. Cook for 30 seconds. Pour in 1 cup of broth and deglaze the bottom of the pot.
- Add remaining broth and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Lock the lid and pressure cook on High for 5 minutes.
- Allow a 5-minute natural release, then switch to Quick Release to release remaining pressure.
- Turn on Sauté (Low). Stir in heavy cream and chopped kale. Cook 3–5 minutes until kale softens.
- Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot with grated Parmesan if desired.
Notes
Add the heavy cream only after pressure cooking to prevent curdling and ensure a velvety, creamy soup.
