Instant Pot Tortellini Soup
Instant Pot Tortellini Soup
"Instant Pot Tortellini Soup is a weeknight staple, full of healthy and nourishing ingredients to fill you up and keep you warm. A great family-friendly winter meal! To lower the fat, you can certainly use low-fat versions, but you won’t get the same creamy consistency if that’s what you’re looking for. Top tips: If you’re looking to save time, chop your veggies the night before. I recommend using bone broth – it’s tasty and you get extra protein, plus glycine! If you like your spinach more wilted, you can add it in earlier, but I prefer to do it last."

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 16 ounces ground Italian sausage
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 large carrots, diced
- 3 stalks celery, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon pepper to taste
-
Start by pressing SAUTE button on instant pot. Use NORMAL setting. When it reaches hot, add olive oil. Next, add ground sausage, breaking into crumbles and cooking until lightly browned.
-
While still on SAUTE mode, add diced onion, garlic, carrots, celery, garlic and seasonings to sausage. Stir them around and cook until onions turn translucent and vegetables soften, about 3-5 minutes.
-
If there are any brown spots, use water or a little broth to de-glaze the pot as you scrape the bottom. Make sure to press cancel when you’re done.
-
Add broth, tomato sauce and diced tomatoes to instant pot. Turn valve to SEALING position and select PRESSURE COOK/MANUAL setting. Set pressure cooker to high and timer to 5 minutes. It will take 10-15 minutes for the pressure cooker to reach high and warm up.
-
Let pot naturally release for 3-5 minutes, and then manually do quick release of remaining pressure and remove the lid. Press CANCEL.
-
With liquid in there, set pot back to SAUTE setting. Add in tortellini to pot. Stir and cook on high for 3-5 minutes or until tortellini are cooked.
