Instructions
  1. Add bacon to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTE function. Cook and stir until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to a paper towel lined plate.
  2. Add sausage and onion to the bacon drippings. Cook and stir until no pink remains.
  3. Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes more. Drain liquids from the pot.
  4. Add broth to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pot, then add the potatoes and stir.
  5. Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL , then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
  6. Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 5 minutes.

    Love this kind of soup from Olive Garden so we gave it a try. Turned out even better! We added mushrooms and it added to the goodness.

    Turned out great! Maybe add a little pepper and i used low sodium chicken broth but it was very tasty!

    Followed the recipe and has turned out beautifully twice. We doubled meat, potatoes and kale the second time to feed a larger crowd and it still turned out well. In fact, we boiled more potatoes the next day to go with the rest of the leftover soup. This transformed the dish into a delightful potato soup/chowder consistency… yum. A great cold weather recipe served with breadsticks.

    Yummy! Substituted prosciutto for the bacon. I needed to add a touch of avocado oil to the pan before adding onions abd garlic.

    So good! And happy we could adjust the spice level by using mild instead of hot itilian sauage.
