  • 1 bunch kale, stems removed and leaves chopped
  • 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Set a 6 or 8 quart Instant Pot to the high sauté setting. Add olive oil, garlic, onion, carrots and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in basil, oregano and fennel seed until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in stock, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, zucchini, Parmesan rind and bay leaf. Select ‘Manual’ or ‘Pressure Cook’ setting; adjust pressure to high, and set time for 5 minutes. When finished cooking, carefully quick-release the pressure. Stir in kale until wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in red wine vinegar; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with parmesan and parsley, if desired.
