Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 diced white or yellow onion
- 1 yukon gold potato, chopped (peeled optional)
- 1 carrot, peeled and diced
- 1 parsnip, peeled and diced (or another carrot)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1/8 teaspoon ground sage
- 1/8 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 15 ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 10 ounces fresh tortellini
- 1 15 ounce can white beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups finely chopped kale, or spinach
- 1/2 cup half and half, cashew cream or canned coconut cream
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, regular or dairy-free
Instructions
- Turn the Instant Pot to "saute." Add the olive oil, onion, potato, carrot, parsnip and cook, stirring often, until lightly golden browned and starting to soften, about 3-5 minutes. Turn off by hitting "cancel" and add the minced garlic, dried spices (paprika, Italian seasoning, fennel, sage, red pepper flakes and salt), crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth.
- Cover, turning the vent to sealing and bring to pressure for 4 minutes. Let naturally release for 5 minutes, then manually release until pressure has come down. Remove the lid, then hit "saute" again and bring the tomato-broth mixture to a boil. Add the tortellini, white beans and kale and cook until tortellini has softened, about 5 minutes.
- Hit "cancel" and stir in the cream off heat. Season to taste, adding freshly ground black pepper if desired. I sometimes add a splash of lemon juice to brighten the flavors! Stir in the parm cheese and serve immediately.
