Busy weeknights are back. And that means I have even less time to make dinner for our family of 5. One of my favorite ways to save time on meals is by using my Instant Pot. Y’all know how much I adore my Instant Pot. I mean, these meals are so. darn. easy! And this Instant Pot Sausage & Spinach Soup recipe is to die for! Seriously.
Why the Instant Pot
If you’ve been following my blog for a while you’ll know that I’m basically obsessed with pressure cooking and one-pot cooking in the Instant Pot. It’s just… easy. And, when food is made in a pressure cooker, it is 100 times juicier and more flavorful. Sure, you could make soup in a stock pot on the stove; but I highly suggest you try using an Instant Pot. It’s a complete game-changer.
What you’ll need for Instant Pot Sausage & Spinach Soup
Besides your Instant Pot (or other pressure cooker equivalent), you’ll only need the following:
- 1 pound of ground pork sausage
- olive oil
- an onion
- one yellow pepper
- mushrooms
- great northern beans
- chicken broth
- water
- russet potatoes
- Worcestershire sauce
- garlic powder
- Italian seasoning
- red pepper flakes (optional)
- fresh spinach
