Instant Pot Potato, Sausage And Cabbage Soup

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds Kielbasa cut into 1” pieces

1 onion chopped

2 carrots cut in ½ inch slices

1 ½ cups celery, cut in ½” pieces

1 pound red potatoes cut into 1” chunks

1 medium head of green cabbage, cut into chunks

1 tbsp Olive Oil

4 cloves of garlic, minced

1 bay leaf

¼ tsp Italian Seasoning

½ tsp Thyme

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

6 cups Chicken Broth, low sodium

Turn on the saute function, once it is hot, add the kielbasa

Cook until the meat is slightly browned

Remove the meat, drain the pot and scrape off any bits from the pot

Add in the Olive Oil and the onion, scraping the bottom again to get the bits and pieces of Kielbasa

Add in the garlic, celery and carrots

Cook for 1 minute stirring while it cooks

Add in the broth and the seasonings

Place the meat back into the Instant Pot

Add in the potatoes and the cabbage and stir to combine

Place the lid on the pot and set the release to sealing

Cancel the saute function

Press the manual button and set the time for 4 minutes on high pressure

When the cooking cycle ends, allow it to naturally release for ten minutes

Then manually release the pressure by turning it to venting. Do this carefully so that you are not burned if soup spits out with the steam

When the pin in the lid drops, open and remove the lid

Slowly stir the soup

This can be served with Crusty bread.

Enjoy!
