Instant Pot Italian Wedding Soup
Ingredients
- 12 meatballs (sausage is best)
- 40 oz chicken broth
- 1 onion
- 3 carrots
- 1 bunch escarole (use 2 c. leaves)
- 1/2 c Pastini
- 1/4 tsp basil dried
Instructions
- Make your meatballs or buy them pre-made at the store.
- Add a few tbsp of olive oil into your Instant Pot, set to saute, low, and add your meatballs.
- Brown the outsides if you're cooking using your own meatballs, if using frozen just defrost them ahead of time and add to pot just to warm them slightly, then add your diced onions. Cook for a minute or two just to soften onions slightly.
- Pour in your chicken stock, diced carrots, basil, and Pastini noodles. Turn pot to off.
- Put on the lid and close the steam valve on your pressure cooker and set to manual, pressure, high, for 4 minutes.
- When done do a slow release by slightly moving he steam valve to the side so steam releases slowly and lift lid carefully.
- Add escarole (cut into spoon size pcs., use about 2 c. of leaves) and stir gently so leaves are submerged. Set Instant Pot to saute, low, and allow to bubble for 2-3 minutes so escarole can soften. Serve!

What is the recipe for the sausage meatballs? Thanks!
We made very small turkey meatballs made with glutton free bread crumbs and added the pasta after soup cooked. I used cauliflower rice instead of a noodle so it was totally healthy but my hubby put orso in his. We also used fresh baby spinach and kale. Delicious -cooking time 10mins total.
