Easy Cheesy Potato & Sausage Soup | Instant Pot Recipe
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 Tb butter
- 1 lb smoked beef sausage cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 onion diced
- 3 c chicken or beef broth
- 1 c half & half
- 2 ½ lb russet potatoes about 8 medium, peeled and cubed
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 c shredded sharp cheddar cheese I use an aged Irish cheddar, divided use
Instructions
- To begin, press the "sauté" button on your Instant Pot.
- Add in the butter and sausage. Cook it for a few minutes until the sausage is browned, stirring occasionally.
- Scoop the sausage into a dish and set it aside for now.
- Add in the diced onion and cook until it is tender. Press the cancel button.
- Add in the broth, half & half, potatoes, parsley, pepper, and salt. Stir it all together.
- Close and seal the Instant Pot. Press the "soup" button and let it run the 30 minute cycle.
- When it is done cooking, use an immersion blender and give the soup just a few pulses. Just enough to thicken the broth. This allows the starch in the potatoes to be the thickening agent without needing to add other things.
- Press the "sauté" button again. Add in 1 1/2 c of the cheese and the browned sausage.
- Stir until the cheese is melted in and the sausage is hot.
- Serve topped with the extra cheese.
- Enjoy!
