If you’re looking for a comforting, one-pot Instant Pot soup recipe loaded with flavor, tender cheese tortellini, savory sausage, and spinach in a creamy tomato broth this one’s a keeper! Let’s show him some love with your kind comments!
Ingredients:
7 cups chicken broth
4 cups fresh baby spinach
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (28 oz) can + 1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 lb uncooked Italian sausage (hot or mild)
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
¾ cup heavy whipping cream (optional for extra creaminess)
2 tablespoons minced garlic
10 oz small frozen cheese tortellini (or use fresh)
1 cup chopped onion
Instructions:
1. Sauté the Sausage:
Turn on the Sauté function on your Instant Pot. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat it up. Brown the Italian sausage until fully cooked, then drain excess grease—leave about 1 tablespoon for flavor.
2. Add Aromatics:
Stir in chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and soft. Sprinkle in Italian seasoning for that classic herb flavor.
3. Deglaze the Pot:
Pour in ½ cup chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. This adds depth to your soup!
4. Build the Soup:
Press “Cancel” to stop sautéing. Add diced tomatoes, remaining chicken broth, and frozen cheese tortellini. Stir well.
5. Pressure Cook:
Lock the lid and set to “Pressure Cook” on HIGH for 1 minute. Once done, allow natural release for 3 minutes before quick-releasing the rest of the pressure.
6. Add Creamy Goodness:
Press “Sauté” again. Add baby spinach and cook just until wilted. Stir in Parmesan cheese and heavy cream for that velvety texture.
7. Serve & Garnish:
Ladle into bowls and top with fresh basil, crushed red pepper flakes, and extra Parmesan. Pure Italian comfort food bliss!
