Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups dry white beans
  • 1 1/2 cups brown rice
  • 8 cups water or substitute additional broth for more flavor
  • 1-2 chicken breasts or 2 cups chopped roasted chicken
  • 1/2 head green cabbage
  • 3-4 carrots
  • 2-3 stalks celery
  • 1 onion
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 2 tsp basil
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 4-6 cups kale stemmed

Instructions
 

  • First add broth and dry beans to an instant pot. Pressure cook on high for 30 minutes.
  • Add rice and 4 cups water, pressure cook on high for an additional 25 minutes.
  • Chop vegetables in to small pieces. I like to coin my carrots, dice my onions, and chop my cabbage into 1 inch squares.
  • Add all the vegetables (except the kale), the uncooked chicken breast (unless you are using precooked chicken), and the seasonings, then pressure cook on high for 10 minutes.
  • If you cooked your chicken with the vegetables, take out the chicken and dice, then add back into the pot with 4 cups water or broth and the kale.
  • Add any additional seasonings to taste. Boil until the kale is completely wilted and cooked through.
