This is not your traditional Italian wedding soup but the flavor profile is one that will not disappoint.
Whether you are cooking for a crowd or making a batch of this soup to package and freeze to have some make-ahead meals readily available, your investment in time and ingredients are sure to reward you ten fold with this special RV Recipe.
I realize summer is grilling season however I tend to enjoy a great tasting soup most any time of year whether it is a brisk night huddled around a campfire or sitting in my camp chair while soft summer evening breezes gently drift by.
Enjoy!
- Chef MJ
Instant Pot (IP) 6 quart
Serves 10 – 12
RV Recipe Ingredients
19 oz mild Italian sausage
19 oz hot Italian sausage
8 oz uncooked, bacon
64 oz organic chicken broth
1/2 red onion, diced (or substitute 1 tsp onion powder)
2 cloves garlic, minced (or substitute 1 tsp garlic powder)
1/2 – 2/3 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 – 2/3 tsp Montreal steak seasoning (or substitute black pepper and a few dashes of sea salt)
1/2 – 2/3 tsp dried basil flakes or spice
1/2 – 2/3 tsp dried oregano or spice
4 6″ (med/large) russet potatoes, rinsed, peeled, diced
5 oz bag baby spinach, prewashed
1 cup heavy cream or half and half
1 cup shaved or freshly grated parmesan cheese
RV Recipe Directions
- Remove sausage from casings. Cut or divide each link into 6 pieces, set aside.
- Cut each strip of bacon into 4 equal slices then place in Instant Pot on SAUTE' mode. Stir as needed for a minute or 2 then add diced fresh onion, stir again for a minute then add freshly minced garlic. Stir for a minute.
- Add sausage pieces and seasonings, stir until lightly browned.
- Add chicken broth, stir. Turn IP off.
- Peel rinsed potatoes, cut them in half lengthwise then slice into 1/4 inch (half moon) slices.
- Add potatoes to the IP but DO NOT stir.
- Close IP lid and steam vent. Set heat to MANUAL 5 minutes. Allow the IP to natural release for 10 minutes, then open the steam valve for a quick release of the remainder of steam.
- Open the IP, remove 1 – 2 cups of potatoes from the pot and lightly puree using the back of a fork. Return the potatoes to the IP and stir.
- Add the baby spinach and stir.
- Add the heavy cream or half and half, stir. The mixture may thicken ever so slightly due to the starch of the potato but this soup is actually more broth-like.
- Pour individual servings into bowls and top with freshly grated parmesan.
