Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Italian sausage spicy or mild, casing removed
  • 1 onion finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 pounds green cabbage chopped into 2 inch pieces
  • 2 cups carrots chopped
  • ¼ cup uncooked white rice rinsed and drained
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Instant Pot on sauté mode high then brown the sausage for 2 minutes on each side. The fat in the sausage will release but you can add a little bit of oil if desired to brown the sausage. Then, crumble the sausage into small pieces.
  • Turn off sauté mode and using the residual heat, add in the onion and garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Scrape the brown bits at the bottom of the pan.
  • Add in the remaining ingredients, seal and pressure cook on high for 15 minutes.
  • Quick release the remaining pressure, mix the soup and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  • Add more broth or water after cooking if you want thinner soup.
  • Total time does not include time for the Instant Pot to come to pressure and release pressure.
  • Stove Top Method:
    1. In a large Dutch oven or pot on medium heat, brown and crumble the sausage.
    2. Add in the garlic and onions and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant while scraping the brown bits in the pot.
    3. Mix in the remaining ingredients, cover and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Slow Cooker Method:
    1. In a skillet on medium heat, brown and crumble the sausage.
    2. Add in the garlic and onions and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant while scraping the brown bits in the pan.
    3. Transfer the sausage, garlic, and onion mixture to a crockpot or slow cooker. Mix in the remaining ingredients and cook for 6-7 hours on low or 4 hours on high.
