Preparation Steps

  • Set the Instant Pot to SAUTE. Add olive oil and sliced smoked sausage; brown sausage for 3 to 5 minutes until lightly caramelized. Use a slotted spoon to remove and set sausage aside.
  • Add chopped onion to the pot and sauté 2 to 3 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add cubed potatoes, sliced cabbage, browned sausage back to the pot, then pour in chicken broth. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, dried thyme, bay leaf, salt and pepper.
  • Secure the lid and set the Instant Pot to MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK on high for 5 minutes. Ensure the vent is set to sealing.
  • When cook time is complete, perform a quick release of pressure by carefully turning the vent to venting. Once the pin drops, remove the lid.
  • Stir the soup, remove and discard the bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread if desired.

Notes

Leftovers store well refrigerated for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove and add a splash of broth if soup thickens.
