Description

A hodgepodge of ingredients, like Italian sausage and vegetables, that comes together in a warm, comforting soup. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage (I used mild)
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 4 cups V8 (or tomato juice)
  • 3 cups chicken or beef broth
  • 2 medium Russet potatoes (about 8 ounces), cut into cubes
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can corn, drained
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can green beans, drained
  • 4 cups chopped cabbage
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 tsp cajun seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Instant Pot Instructions:

  1. Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in the Italian sausage and break it up. Add in the onions. Brown for about 5 minutes. Drain off excess grease.
  2. Pour in the V8 and broth and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. 
  3. Add in the potatoes, carrots, corn, green beans, cabbage, Worcestershire and cajun seasoning. 
  4. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the SOUP button to 5 minutes. When time is up let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid. 
  5. Stir. Add salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and serve. 

Slow Cooker Instructions:

  1. Heat a pan over medium high heat. Add in the Italian sausage and break it up. Add in the onions. Brown for about 5 minutes. Drain off excess grease. Add mixture to the slow cooker.
  2. Pour in the V8, broth, potatoes, carrots, corn, green beans, cabbage, Worcestershire and cajun seasoning. 
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. 
  4. Stir. Add salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and serve.
