Sausage And Potato Soup {Instant Pot}
This hearty sausage and potato soup is a delicious, healthy, high protein meal that will satisfy on a cold, chilly night… or anytime, really, if you’re a soup lover like me.
Soup = life in my book!
Soup is probably my favorite meal and my husbands least favorite. I love a good, hearty bowl of brothy soup. It also has to be chicken broth or vegetable broth since beef broth freaks. me. out. yo. Yeah, not sure why…
My husband, on the other hand, dislikes soup because he complains he is still hungry after eating it. Not with this hearty sausage potato soup.
Between the potatoes, beans, and lots of veggies, it’s thickness will fill even the hungriest of bellies. Pair that with good’ole crusty bread and butter and you have a winner. Plus, it comes together in no time, especially if you have an Instant Pot

I created this video during nap time, and it literally felt like I was racing against the clock. By the time the Instant Pot came to pressure and the clock was ticking, I was just hoping and praying that it would be finished before the kids woke up. As the clock hit two minutes, I could hear the baby stirring, and by one minute, it was full blown screams. Of course, I don’t want him to wake up his sister, so I rushed in to swoop him in my arms and the rest of the video and pictures were taken with him right next to the set. It was sweet. So, please excuse my not absolutely perfect pictures. The cute baby was gurgling and distracting me with his adorable giggles. I blame him.
Then, while editing the video, I asked August if she wanted to watch it with me. It was hilarious and wish I would’ve caught it on film. Well, I tried, but she caught me, so it wasn’t as good. She was interpreting everything as a two-year-old would. “Ohh, mommy, look at the hotdogs (sausages),” “are those potatoes,” “look at the people’s hand,” “are you making soup… yummmmm… I want soup.”
Then, “Again, again?” I think we watched it 190 times, so I was done watching it for a while. But hey, it kept her entertained as we tried to get ready for church.
Don’t have an Instant Pot? No worries! I’ve actually made this soup lots of times in a dutch oven or big soup pot. This was actually the first time I tried it in an Instant Pot. So, below I will include the instant pot recipe and the classic version.
On another note, I’m really getting into this food video thing. It is super fun, and I love everything about it (except the prep and dishes, which are tedious). I’m a messy cook and having to make everything and separate it into bowls is the one downside. But since everything else is so fun, it makes up for it.

Great potato soup recipe!
I’m now gonna try to make it before my GF gets home (I’m in the dog house for forgetting our anniversary!!!) This is her favorite so hopefully it will do the trick.
Keep up the great work!
Thank Matt! Hope you enjoyed it!
I made tonight with leftover wild rice bratwurst. I skipped the beans. Also I used baby yellow potatoes which were sliced very thin. . I just up what I had in the fridge. It was very good!
