This is a very satisfying soup. My son has never cared for cabbage but he loves this soup. He ate 2 bowls of it the first time I made it and now requests it quite often.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

The process of making this cabbage, sausage, and potato soup will have you falling in love with your pressure cooker again or even more. The hardest part of the recipe is waiting for the Instant Pot to come to pressure. Then in 8 minutes, you have a delicious soup. The cabbage and potatoes are cooked perfectly. If you're sensitive to spice, we suggest cutting back on the black pepper and omitting the red pepper because they spice up this soup. The sausage adds a hint of smokiness. This is a great weeknight meal.
