Equipment

  • Instant Pot®

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 large stalks celery, chopped
  • 4 large carrots, sliced
  • 1 medium red onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder,
  • Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 6 cups vegetable broth, preferably organic
  • 1 lb. red potatoes quartered
  • 2 whole bay leaves
  • 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 cup baby kale, roughly chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice

Instructions

  • Add olive oil to the Instant Pot® and select the “Sauté” function. Add garlic, celery, carrots, red onion, and garlic powder. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Stir to combine.
  • Sauté, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and vegetables start to turn golden brown, approximately 4-5 minutes.
  • Add broth and stir to combine, scraping any brown bits off the bottom of the pot in the process. Turn the unit off.
  • Add potatoes, bay leaves, and chopped tomatoes to the pot.
  • Put the lid on and lock it into place. Switch the vent to “Sealing” and set the “Manual” setting to 3 minutes.
  • When the cooking time is complete, allow pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
  • Remove the lid and discard the bay leaves.
  • Stir in the baby kale and lime juice, and season with additional salt and black pepper, if desired. Stir to combine and serve immediately.
