Ready for some more easy Instant Pot recipes that are perfect for cooler weather….but really delicious year round!! If so you’ve got to try our pressure cooker cabbage soup. It is amazing with ground sausage or beef! Similar to cabbage rolls but much easier to make, it will become your favorite meal if you love cabbage.  (affiliate links present)

I made this unstuffed cabbage dish once but it came out thick, so I called it Instant Pot stuffed cabbage casserole.

This time I added more broth and tomato sauce to this electric pressure cooker soup and it came out perfect.

• I added rice to “beef” up our pressure cooker cabbage soup a bit more but you could easily eliminate that part and it would still turn out great.

It’s totally up to you, use what you have on hand and what you love I always say.

If you’ve never made any simple cabbage recipes they’re really great and bring a great texture with the addition of this vegetable that doesn’t get nearly as much credit as it should in my opinion.

Here are a few of our other favorite Instant Pot cabbage recipes:

• Pressure cooker fried cabbage
• Instant Pot stuffed cabbage is a family fave
  • and cabbage and noodles with bacon
• Easy Instant Pot corned beef and cabbage
• Pressure cooker chicken quinoa casserole has cabbage in it too and is a great complete dinner

My grandma cooked with cabbage all the time and when I was younger it wasn’t anything I was about to try…..but I must be getting older because I’m all about cabbage in just about everything now.

This was a total winner and great as is without anything else, maybe a roll on the side if you wanted.

These are the ingredients you need to make pressure cooker cabbage soup

1. Ground sausage – I like spicy version, could use ground beef but sausage has WAY more flavor
2. Cabbage
3. Olive oil
4. Spaghetti sauce – this is our favorite
   1. or tomato sauce but we prefer the above
5. Diced tomatoes
6. Beef broth
7. Rice – white, uncooked
8. Onion
9. Seasoning is up to you (we like it as is)
   1. black pepper
   2. salt

Optional other add ins:

• Onion, carrots, celery – just dice or cut them into small dials

Best part is you don’t even have to precook your rice. You just throw it right into your Instant Pot with everything else and it comes out perfectly tender in just about 15 minutes.

As I said you can leave the rice out if you would rather. It’s one of the heartiest vegetables soups you will ever make.

• 20 minutes is about all the time you need, that includes the time it takes to reach pressure. When it’s done you’ll have a hearty dinner soup ready. Let me tell you that this Instant Pot cabbage soup is fantastic the next day if there are any leftovers.

It does thicken up a bit as it sits, and the next day so there is less “soupiness” but makes no difference in the overall taste.

It. Is. Amazing.

After you try this Instant Pot cabbage soup we have a few more easy pressure cooker soups.

Added to our long list of Instant Pot soup recipes it is a complete meal with a TON of flavor.

1. Instant Pot lasagna soup
2. Pressure cooker bean soup – no soaking required
3. 17 minute homemade Instant Pot split pea soup recipe
4. I have a bunch more Instant Pot sausage recipes here too

If you’re making Ninja Foodi cabbage soup adjust by:

• Setting to high pressure for 12 minutes (since it doesn’t have a rice button)
