Amazingly simple & flavorful winter stew filled with cabbage, potatoes & kale. YUM. This is so delicious and satisfying, perfect for a snowy winter day. I made this quick & easy by preparing the stew in the Instant Pot, however, I include stovetop directions too in the Cabbage Potato Kale Stew recipe below. 🙂
One of the best things about the Instant Pot is how quickly you can have a meal that tastes like you slow-cooked it for hours. This is one that tastes like you were simmering away all day but it’s ready in minutes. It actually takes me longer to chop all the vegetables than it does to cook the dish!
Cabbage & potatoes are a classic combo. They pair so well together in this dish and are also some of the most budget-friendly ingredients you can buy. This recipe also makes a large amount so you can get the most bang for your buck. Then I add some dino kale at the end for a pop of color and extra nutrition.
The warm & savory broth with the chunky perfectly cooked vegetables are SO good. If you want this to be more of a soup, or for reheating leftovers, you can add more broth or water to the pot.
I love to serve this with my GF Yeast-Free Oat Bread recipe for dipping. It’s sooo good. Are you loving stews and soups this winter? What is your go-to recipe for when your cold and need something comforting?

This was so delicious! If I didn’t make it myself, I wouldn’t believe how easy and healthy it is. I made it as a side dish and ended up getting seconds and making it my main dish. I added vegan Parmesan cheese which I highly recommend! I might add white beans next time for more protein. But this was perfect as is!
Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you liked it! 🤓💖
