Curry Pumpkin Soup with Sausage and Kale – Gluten and Dairy Free

Well, Hurricane Florence is in town for the weekend so I wanted to make something hearty that we could eat on for a few days while we are hunkered down and the wind is gusting outside. At first, I was just going to do this soup sans sausage but decided at the last minute to add the sausage and I’m glad I did! I made this recipe in my Instant Pot but you could easily do it in the slow-cooker or stovetop as well.

First, I set my Instant Pot on Saute and put in a tablespoon of coconut oil cooked my ground pork until no pink was left. The Instant Pot makes it really easy to saute meat – I’ve done ground beef, pork, and chicken and I’ve never had it burn.

Next, I added in all the ingredients except for the pumpkin seeds which I was using for garnish. I set my Instant Pot for 10 minutes and walked away. You could also cook this on high heat for 3-4 hours or low for 7-8 hours in a slow cooker. Likewise, you could also let this simmer on the stove for 30 mins-1 hour.

When the timer went off, I did a natural release for 10 minutes.
