Method
 

  1. INSTANT POT INSTRUCTIONS:
    Add all ingredients to Instant Pot and stir. Place the lid on top and make sure the valve is pointed to "sealing". Pressure cook "manual" for 8 minutes. When the timer is up do a 17-20 minute natural release, then release any remaining pressure manually. Take off the lid and stir in the chopped kale and 1/4 cup creamy almond butter. Let the kale wilt in the hot soup for a few minutes. Use the back of a spoon or a potato masher to mash up the white beans.
    Serve with a drizzle of good quality EVOO on top.
  2. STOVE TOP INSTRUCTIONS:
    Heat up a large soup pot on the stove top. Sauté the onion in 1 tbsp oil or water saute for oil free. Add in the bell pepper and mushrooms and cook for a few more minutes, splash in water or broth as needed to prevent sticking. Add in the remaining ingredients besides the almond butter and stir. Simmer for 20- 25 minutes til the butternut squash is soft. Stir in the chopped kale and almond butter at the end. Use the back of a wooden spoon or a potato masher to mash up the white beans. Serve with a drizzle of good quality EVOO on top.

Notes

Make your own Italian soffritto seasoning by combining a blend of Italian seasoning, onion flakes or onion powder, garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes and dried rosemary.
