Pressure Cooker Sausage Vegetable Rice Soup
Summer isn’t officially over but it is September and the temperatures have started cooling already. I’ve had to get pants out for myself and my youngest ever day for about a week now. Fall is coming people. That excites me. Why? Because that’s soup weather! I can (and do) eat soup year round. But during the fall and winter we have it often. As a comfort food you can’t beat it.
Pressure Cooker Sausage Vegetable Rice Soup is a warming comfort food with an Italian feel. The moist and filling rice really absorbs the flavor of the seasonings and sausage. This recipe takes less than 30 minutes to make and is a quick meal solution for a chilly day.

- electric pressure cooker (I used a 6 qt Mealthy Multipot)
- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
- silicone cooking spoon
Ingredients
- 8 cups chicken stock
- 1 lb Italian sweet sausage links
- 16 oz bag frozen mixed vegetables
- 1x 28oz can diced tomatoes seasoned with basil, garlic & oregano
- 1.5 cups white rice
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp oregano
- olive oil
Instructions
Set the pressure cooker to saute.
Add 1-2 tbsp of olive oil to the pot, just enough to create a very thin coating on the bottom of the pot.
Add the Italian sausage to the pot and brown it.
Once the sausage has finished browning, add the rice and seasonings to the pot.
Pour the broth into the pot.
Ad the diced tomatoes and then the mixed vegetables to the pot.
Place the lid onto the pot and close to seal.
Set the pressure cooker to cook on manual high pressure for 8 minutes.
Once the cooking cycle has finished, do a quick pressure release.
Serve immediately.
Enjoy!

What a great sounding soup!! This is just the perfect dish for lunch or dinner. I've been craving a soup with rice in it and this would be a wonderful recipe. Thank you -- you've inspired my next soup.

Anything with rice - pass that on. I love rice, i'm a huge rice eater. The soup sounds absolutely hearty and healthy. Filling soups are my kind of soup where i dont have to eat anything else after this.

Love homemade soup and nothing like a good sausage and vegetable soup. I have never made it in a pressure cooker - I bet it was much quicker.
