Nov 10, 2026
Ingredients:
-
1 lb of Italian Sausage (Mulay's is the BEST! Heritage Pork, no antibiotics)
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, whole or finely minced, or 1 tsp of garlic powder
- 2 large carrots, chopped
- 1 lb of Great Northern Beans, sorted and rinsed (or 3 cans of Great Northern Beans, rinsed and drained)
-
8 cups of chicken broth (Better than Bouillon or homemade)
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 bunch of large kale (red or green), washed, chopped, and stems removed
Pressure Cook
Set to sauté for 8 minutes and sweat onions with olive oil and garlic. Add sausage and break it up into smaller pieces and brown. Add rinsed beans, carrots, bouillon (with water) or homemade broth, bay leaf, and mix. Set the pressure cook button for 40 minutes (for beans that have not been soaked), 20 minutes (for soaked beans), or 5 minutes for canned beans.
When the time is up, let the pot sit for 5-10 minutes and then release the valve for venting. Remove the lid, discard the bay leaf, and add the kale.
Optional Garnishes
-
2 tbsp of freshly grated parmesan
- Chili flakes
