Set Instant Pot to sauté function. Add olive oil. Once it melts and begins to sizzle, add the onions and garlic and cook for 2 minutes or until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant, stirring occasionally.
Add the beef and cook until no longer pink.
Add in chicken stock, tomato paste and seasonings. Stir to combine.
Add in the diced tomatoes and beans. Stir to combine. (If using fresh chopped kale, add in this step. If using frozen kale, wait until step 6).
Set the Instant pot to pressure cook for 5 minutes. Make sure the venting is turned off and close the lid. Allow pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes. Release the remainder of the pressure by venting the Instant Pot.
If using frozen kale, stir in and set to manual for 1 minute. Release pressure once the one minute is up.
Garnish with shaved or shredded parmesan cheese and serve with Italian crusty bread!
Notes
Use Fresh Ingredients: For the tastiest Instant Pot Kale Soup, opt for fresh kale and ingredients.De-stem the Kale: Remove kale stems before adding leaves to the soup to avoid their tough and fibrous texture.
