If you don’t know this about me yet, I hate the cold. I mean hate it. Like bundle up in layers, get under the covers, and drink hot chocolate all day kind of hate it.
And as I write this post, we’re getting a flash snowstorm that’s already dumped about 5 inches in the past 4 hours.
But. the reality is that I have 3 very active, busy boys, and I don’t have the ability to just hide out at home when the weather gets cold.
So what do I do? I eat soup!
But here’s another random fact about me: I hate weak, watery soups that have no substance. Give me a hearty Easy Three Bean Slow Cooker Chili, Flavorful Turkey Sweet Potato Chili With Apples or comforting Instant Pot Lasagna Soup: Easy Comfort Food any (cold) day of the week!

Ingredients Need for Instant Pot Sausage & Spinach Soup
- pork sausage – I used the regular, mild flavor, but I have NO doubt that all flavors are delicious in this recipe!
- olive oil – just enough to saute the meat and veggies.
- onion – onion adds so much flavor that perfectly complements all the other ingredients.
- yellow bell pepper – adds a nice pop of color and some good flavor.
- mushrooms – more color and texture.
- white beans – I used great northern beans but any type of white bean such as navy or cannellini would work too!
- chicken broth – I always use reduced-sodium because you can always add extra salt to a recipe if you want it, but you can’t take it out once it’s in there!
- water
- russet potatoes – there’s something about eating potatoes in a soup that I just love; probably because they add a lot of bulk and make the soup feel very hearty and filling.
- Worcestershire sauce – because YUM.
- garlic powder
- Italian seasoning
- crushed red pepper flakes – this is totally optional. If you like the heat, throw it in there!
- spinach – adds a nice pop of green, nutritional value and texture to the soup.
