Instructions
- Turn the Instant Pot on and press sauté. Add the sausages (remove the casings) and crumble with a spoon and brown the sausage for about 3 to 4 minutes. Then add the onion and sweet potato. Sauté for 2 minutes more and then add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Add the lentils, canned tomatoes, chicken broth and sea salt and pepper. Put the lid on and press manual (or Pressure cook) and set the timer for 12 minutes.
- When the Instant Pot is finished cooking, release the pressure manually and turn off. Open the lid and add the chopped kale and stir.

Notes
The parsley is a nice touch to add on top of the finished soup as well as the cheese. Although the cheese is totally optional.
If you don’t have kale, use another green.
