Directions
1. To make the Italian sausage pasta soup: In your Instant Pot, turn on the saute mode and heat olive oil. Add the sausage meat and break it up with a wooden spoon while it cooks.
2. Once the sausage meat has browned, add onion, and sauté for 4 minutes, stirring regularly.
3. Add garlic, pepper flakes, and tomato paste to the insert of the Instant Pot with sausage and onion, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Finally, add tomatoes, salt, pepper, pasta, and vegetable broth with fresh basil and oregano and stir to combine. Cover and set to 3 minutes on pressure cook mode.
4. Do a quick release and carefully remove the lid. Stir in fresh spinach into the soup and adjust seasoning to your liking.
5. Serve the Italian sausage pasta soup immediately with grated Parmesan cheese, red chili flakes, and more fresh herbs. Enjoy!

What Italian sausage can we use for this Instant Pot Italian soup recipe?
You can use bulk Italian pork sausage or sausage links. We like using Hot Italian sausage to spice things up! For a leaner option, you can use turkey sausage or chicken sausage.
Can we use another type of pasta for this soup?
Yet! You can use classic or whole-wheat orzo substitute any other pasta of your choosing like bowties, orecchiette, etc… Note that bigger pasta like penne will need one minute or two of additional cooking time in the Instant Pot.
How and how long to keep the Instant Pot Italian pasta soup leftovers?
Because pasta tends to swell and get soggy, we recommend you don’t keep the soup for more than one day. Keep the Instant Pot Italian sausage tomato pasta soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

How would you make this without an instapot? In a regular large pan?

This was delicious! I didn't make it in an insta-pot, just on the stove and it came out soooo good. I did tweak it a little bit and used what I had on hand. I used one Italian sausage and some ground turkey and used chicken broth. We've had a super hot summer (over 100 degrees for 70+ days this summer) and today was the first cool day (it's 70 degrees out there right now, hahaha!) This soup just hit the spot it was so good.

Yum! I made this with Trader Joe’s sweet Italian sausage. I used chicken and vegetable broth. I definitely will make this again!

This soup is so good and hits the spot on a cold winter day. I wouldn’t change anything to this recipe except to only use half a box of noodles if you want it to be more of soup otherwise it’s mainly a bowl of noodles.

So delicious! The flavors were so tasty and robust. I would DEFINITELY make the noodles separately and add them in to individual bowls, they expand way too much and end up taking over the soup if you make it and leave them in with everything else. You'll definitely have leftovers with this one!
