Instant Pot Sausage & Potato Soup

Once Fall settles in, all I want is soup for dinner. Having an Instant Pot makes that a reality. Being able to put on the soup and walk away, while I do other chores or work, that is a huge timesaver.

Serve the soup with some crusty bread and you might be able to suffer through it being dark at 4:30 pm for a bit longer.

  • 1 Tbsp olive or avocado oil

  • ½ tsp dried basil
  • 2 pounds russet potatoes, scrubbed and chopped
  • 6 cups chicken broth
