This Pressure Cooker Stuffed Pepper Sausage Soup is all of the best parts of stuffed peppers turned into soup form! I have made this soup on multiple occasions in my Instant Pot for family and friends and it has been a hit all around.

Stuffed peppers are a classic recipe, but they are a little more time consuming than a simple soup. Take all the great flavors of stuffed peppers and enjoy them in this easy 30 minute soup recipe! Another great shortcut to enjoying stuffed peppers is this Easy Stuffed Pepper Skillet.

Family Friendly Pressure Cooker Recipe

I made this comforting soup over a holiday weekend for my family for something a little lighter after a big turkey meal the day before. My mom turned her nose up at it and asked why I always have to make “different” stuff. I insisted it wasn’t odd, as it is a tomato, sausage, rice and veggie soup essentially!

She begrudgingly tried a bite of the Sausage Soup and to her surprise she was a big fan! The rest of my annoying family made similar comments to the effect of “I was surprised that I liked it so much”.

They can rarely just give anyone’s cooking a compliment without the backhanded assumption that they aren’t going to like it. Despite their ungratefulness, this Pressure Cooker Soup was a big hit and I have made it on subsequent family gatherings to the same tentative praise.

Cheesy Stuffed Pepper Sausage Soup

You can keep this Pressure Cooker Stuffed Pepper Sausage Soup dairy free and a little lighter by leaving off the shredded cheese on top, but that really finishes it off nicely in my opinion.

I have enjoyed this sausage soup with shredded Provolone, Cheddar, Farmer’s cheese and every last one of them was a wonderful finish to the hearty soup.

What to serve with Stuffed Pepper Soup?

A loaf of crusty bread is an absolute must for me with any soup recipe, so I grabbed a few different loaves of crusty bread from the grocery store. I popped them in the oven for some soft and warm bread to serve with the sausage soup.

If you want to make this soup a complete meal, a salad is another great serving option. Try one of these delicious salads with the stuffed pepper soup for a wholesome dinner.

Large Batch Recipe

This Pressure Cooker Stuffed Pepper Sausage Soup make a very large batch, serving 8-10 people, so it is a great meal for a crowd. I use my 6 quart Instant Pot to make this recipe, but when I was using my mom’s 5 quart IP, it wasn’t quite big enough.

I left out just enough beef broth until it reached the max line. After it was all cooked and the pressure was released, I just added in the remaining beef broth to the pot. It worked like a charm.

Can I freeze sausage soup?

If you aren’t serving a big family or crowd, you can freeze up this soup for another meal at a later time. The first time I made the soup for just myself and packed up individual servings in these food storage containers for easy meals when I am on maternity leave.

They are microwave safe so I can just grab one from the freezer and let it thaw in the refrigerator. When I was ready for a quick meal in between dealing with two babies, I could easily heat it in the microwave. That was about as far as I ever got with meal prepping despite my good intentions.

If you don’t want to deal with such a large batch of soup, you could certainly cut the recipe in half and keep the cooking time the same.

      It is Called open a word Processor Program, Open a Blank page and Copy and paste. It does work very well, especially if you either save or print the page right after pasting and formating it.

    This sounds amazing! And I had hoped that as my children grew up, they would stop complaining about the food I make. But if they’re like your family, I might not hold my breath! I will come eat your “weird” food any time!

    Your recipe looked so good, I wanted to make it immediately. I didn’t have mild Italian sausage, so I used Honey Habanero Chicken Sausages from Sam’s Club. I didn’t have fire roasted diced tomatoes, so I used diced tomatoes. I used tomato sauce instead of marinara and coconut aminos instead of Worcestershire sauce. It was AMAZING!

    I made this in a stovetop pressure cooker. It burned, though I knew something was off and caught it before it was inedible. The recipe was far too large for my 6 quart. To adapt it, I’d save the marinara for after pressure release (but worry that would take away from the flavor combination; melding to savory gestalt is kind of the point, no?). Maybe this would just cook up better in my dutch oven.

    Any suggestions on how to achieve something similar with a good ol’ 6 quart stove top pressure cooker?

      When using my Mom’s smaller 5 quart Instant Pot, I actually leave out a couple cups of broth. I just add that back in after it is cooked to thin it out.

    How large is one serving size? Couldn’t find it in the nutrition facts unless I missed it!

      It’s 1/10th of the batch, which equates to roughly 2-2.5 cups per serving.

    I don’t own a pressure cooker, but could this be made in a crock pot? If so for how many hours should it be cooked.
    I sooooo want to try this soup. Just don’t want to buy another appliance.

    Thanks, Janet
