\u2764\ufe0f Why You\u2019ll Love This Recipe<\/strong>: This soup is a family favorite for fall that\u2019s full of flavor from browned sausage, smoky bacon, and tender potatoes. The potatoes hold their shape well because they\u2019re steamed, instead of cooked in the broth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update: This is an all-time favorite wintertime dinner for our family, so I updated the post with new tips, tricks and photos for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How to Make Instant Pot Zuppa Toscana<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our Zuppa Toscana is based off the Olive Garden recipe. It\u2019s super easy to make and has a rich, cheesy broth. We like to use chicken sausage because it’s a bit lighter, especially since you\u2019ll be enriching the broth with evaporated milk and parmesan cheese. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key to preventing the potatoes from falling apart is to steam them in the Instant Pot. You\u2019ll need a steaming rack to do this. I love the Avokado Silicone Steamer Basket<\/a> because it holds the potatoes without them spilling out as you transfer them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the best of both worlds: the potatoes absorb all the delicious flavors from the spices as they cook, but they keep their shape and don’t get mushy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making the Soup More or Less Spicy <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re not a fan of spice, make sure to use mild sausage and reduce the red pepper flakes. (I wouldn’t omit them entirely because just a small amount add a great flavor to the soup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, for extra heat, you can use spicy sausage and\/or add more red pepper flakes. Just be sure to taste the soup first, as it has a kick to it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Storage Suggestions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Store leftover Zuppa Toscana in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat it in the microwave or on the stove to serve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The soup may not freeze well, since the cooked potatoes can fall apart when you reheat the soup from frozen. (It’s still tasty though!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I Double or Half the Recipe?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Certainly! You can double or half the recipe without changing anything in the cooking times. Just make sure you don\u2019t fill your pressure cooker pot past the fill line if you’re doubling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
