Ingredients
1 ½ pounds Kielbasa cut into 1” pieces
1 onion chopped
2 carrots cut in ½ inch slices
1 ½ cups celery, cut in ½” pieces
1 pound red potatoes cut into 1” chunks
1 medium head of green cabbage, cut into chunks

¼ tsp Italian Seasoning
½ tsp Thyme

Turn on the saute function, once it is hot, add the kielbasa
Cook until the meat is slightly browned
Remove the meat, drain the pot and scrape off any bits from the pot
Add in the Olive Oil and the onion, scraping the bottom again to get the bits and pieces of Kielbasa
Add in the garlic, celery and carrots
Cook for 1 minute stirring while it cooks
Add in the broth and the seasonings
Place the meat back into the Instant Pot
Add in the potatoes and the cabbage and stir to combine
Place the lid on the pot and set the release to sealing
Cancel the saute function
Press the manual button and set the time for 4 minutes on high pressure
When the cooking cycle ends, allow it to naturally release for ten minutesThen manually release the pressure by turning it to venting. Do this carefully so that you are not burned if soup spits out with the steam
When the pin in the lid drops, open and remove the lid
Slowly stir the soup
This can be served with Crusty bread.
