Skip the takeout tonight and make this easy Instant Pot Chicken and Tortellini Soup with Kale for a filling, Italian-inspired meal.

Instant Pot Chicken and Tortellini Soup with Kale

It’s easy to see why this soup is a crowd pleaser! The distinctly Italian flavors come from the pasta, tomatoes, and garlic. Healthy kale and boneless, skinless chicken breast add bulk to the soup with no guilt attached. Instant Pot Chicken and Tortellini Soup with Kale will fill you up without weighing you down!

And, the Instant Pot makes Instant Pot Chicken and Tortellini Soup with Kale easy. You start with the sauté function to cook the onion and garlic, switch to pressure cooking to cook the chicken, broth, and tomatoes, and then switch back to the sauté function to cook the kale and tortellini. It’s so nice to be able to switch back and forth but only dirty one pot!

We love to serve this with a big, Italian chopped salad and garlic knots.

If you don’t have an Instant Pot, there’s also a stovetop version of this soup.
