Instant Pot Italian Sausage Soup
Ingredients
  • 1/2 pound Italian turkey sausage links, casings removed
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 teaspoons chicken soup base (such as Better than Bouillon®)
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into half moons
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and coarsely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bunch fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1
Activate the pressure cooker's heating element and switch to its Saute mode. Introduce the sausage into the pot, utilizing a spoon to fragment it into smaller pieces as you cook until it reaches a rich brown color, approximately 5 minutes. Next, add water, chicken soup base, beans, zucchini, onion, carrots, and garlic. Mix the ingredients together briefly.
2
Securely close and lock the lid on the pressure cooker, then follow the manufacturer's guidelines to set it for high-pressure cooking and a 3-minute timer. Allow about 10-15 minutes for the pressure to reach its peak.
3
Carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method, as instructed by the manufacturer's instructions, taking around 5 minutes. Remove the lid and unlock it before adding spinach, Italian herbs, and rosemary to the pot. Stir until the spinach has fully wilted.
4
Divide the minestrone soup into individual serving bowls and top it with a generous helping of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
