This comforting soup is perfect for busy days when you want a warm, homemade meal without the fuss. Packed with tender turkey, fresh vegetables, and hearty noodles, it comes together quickly in the Instant Pot for a satisfying dinner.
Start by turning on your Instant Pot and setting it to the sauté mode. When it’s hot, drizzle in some olive oil and let it warm up until it’s shimmering. Toss in the chopped onion, carrots, celery, mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper. Cook everything, stirring occasionally, until the veggies start to soften, about 5 minutes. Then add the garlic and sauté for another minute until it smells amazing.
Pour in the turkey broth, add the cooked turkey, kale, diced tomatoes with their juice, Italian seasoning, and a bay leaf. Give it a good stir to mix everything together. Lock the lid in place and set the pot to cook on high pressure for 15 minutes. It’ll take a bit of time for the pressure to build up, usually around 10 to 15 minutes.
Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for about 15 minutes. After that, carefully switch to quick release to let out any remaining steam before opening the lid.
While the soup is finishing up, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the rotini pasta until it’s just tender, about 8 minutes. Drain the pasta well.
Serve the noodles in bowls and ladle the turkey soup with all the veggies and broth over the top. Enjoy a comforting, hearty meal!
- Use bone-in turkey pieces for extra flavor and richness.
- Add noodles towards the end to prevent them from becoming too soft.
- Adjust the seasoning after cooking to balance the flavors perfectly.
