INSTANT POT CABBAGE, SAUSAGE POTATO SOUP

 

My Grandma always says that Soup is food for the soul! I agree because every time I eat soup, I feel so good and warm.

This simple recipe that I am sharing with you today is one of the best there is! I kid you not. If you have all these ingredients, it is time to cook the perfect soup!

All you need to do is to add all the ingredients in a pressure cooker and cook for 8 minutes. As easy as that! Give it a try and I promise you that it will be worth it. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS 

1 medium head cabbage (roughly cut)

1 cup water or chicken broth (the cabbage will produce more liquid as it cooks)

1 package your favourite smoked sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces

4 – 5 medium potatoes (peeling optional) cut into 1 1/2-inch cube

1 medium onion, halved and then cut into 1/2” slices
