Soup Ingredients

½ pound Italian sausage mild or spicy, your choice
4 cups chicken stock
1 cup 8 ounces Ditalini pasta, uncooked
1 small onion chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
2 cans 20 ounces Great Northern Beans, drained
1 parmesan rind optional
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional and to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups chopped Tuscan kale
1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Start by sauting your ground Italian sauage and onion in the Instant Pot on the saute feature. Once the sausage is fully cooked, drain any excess grease off.
Add in the garlic and Italian seasoning and let cook another minute till it becomes fragrant.
Pour in the chicken stock and use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of pot to deglaze. Then add in your beans, parmesan rind, pasta, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper.
Place the lid on your Instant Pot and make sure the valve is set to sealing. Cook for 4 minutes followed by a quick release of pressure.
Once your soup is done, pour in the heavy cream, and chopped kale. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to wilt the kale.
Serve this Pasta e Fagioli soup with grated parmesan if you would like.

Notes

Slow Cooker Directions

Follow the same instructions as above, by sauting meat in skillet on the stove. Then stir in the onions, garlic, Italian seasoning and let it all become fragrant the same.
Toss the meat in the Slow Cooker along with broth, parmesan rind, beans, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
30 minutes before serving toss in pasta, kale, and heavy cream. Stir and place lid back on and let it cook a bit longer till pasta is done.
Garnish and serve.

You can add kidney beans into the soup if you would like.
Toss in a can of diced tomatoes for more flavor.
Leave the parmesan rind out if you would prefer.
