Fantastic! We absolutely loved it. Even the kids did. Thanks Mel!
And we love the light coconut milk addition. Couldn't taste the coconut. It just made it nice and rich.

Really good without the light coconut milk. Unfortunately the first time I made this that really ruined the whole batch - canned light coconut milk, exactly as described, is still super duper coconutty IMO (I’m in Australia, maybe ours is different??). Not a great match for these flavours. But with cashew milk or soy milk it’s perfect!! I also recommend adding sausage later in the process, so it doesn’t fall apart (if you don’t have access to the recommend brands). Fab for autumn & winter!

Soup was lovely, although I would not put kale or sausages in with the pasta. The sausages were mushy and fell apart. I would throw them in 5 minutes at the end. Pasta I used was same type as photos and it took ages to cook.

This was fabulous!!! I didn’t use the oil but sauté in water. Couldn’t even tell. I also used 1 package of Gardein Italian sausage (that is what I had). No joke it was fantastic!! Wonderful recipe. Will make this again and again! Thanks for sharing!

In reply to momog. It's not a very Instant Pot friendly recipe. I wouldn't advise pressure cooking the pasta or the sausage. The pasta would end up way overcooked and the sausage would likely dissolve. You could make the soup base in there, then once it's done, take the lid off, switch to sauté and let the pasta and sausage simmer until the pasta is cooked. It only takes 30 minutes to cook on the stove top though. It will take much longer in the IP by the time you factor in the coming to pressure time and natural release. Hope that helps!

Has anyone used an Instant Pot to make this recipe?
How long would you cook it for?
I have all the ingredients, but would love to use the IP vs stovetop :)

In reply to Kirsty Lyons. I wouldn't freeze it with the pasta in it but you could make it without the pasta and just add it when you reheat.

In reply to Sarah.

This soup is amazinggg. I used beyond meat sausage because that's all they had at my grocery store and I think it was great with it! I also had to use full fat coconut milk because they didn't sell low fat/fat free and I actually don't taste the coconut (or maybe I do but love it anyways) My boyfriend who isnt vegan said he would have never known!
