Your busy weeknight just got a whole lot easier with this Instant Pot Sausage Pizza Soup!! With just a handful of simple ingredients, 10 minutes of prep time, and your Instant Pot, dinner is practically done.

Soup Season and the Instant Pot are a match made in heaven. This pizza-inspired soup hits the perfect balance between rich and comforting, yet light and healthy. The layers of tomato sauce, Italian sausage, bell peppers, artichoke hearts, and herbs make this a meal the whole family can enjoy. Best of all, it comes together in less than 30 minutes!
Let’s get this pizza party started!
How to make Instant Pot Sausage Pizza Soup:
Start by turning your Instant Pot to the sauté setting. Cook the sausage, onion, and garlic until the sausage is browned and the onions are soft. The aroma alone will have your kitchen smelling amazing!!
Once cooked, press cancel. Add in bell peppers, tomato puree, artichoke hearts, red wine vinegar, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning. Seal the Instant Pot and cook on high pressure for 7 minutes. Use a quick release when done.
Slow Cooker Option
You can easily make this in a slow cooker too! Cook the sausage and onion first, then add everything to the slow cooker including garlic, tomatoes, bell peppers, artichoke hearts, broth, vinegar, and seasonings. Cook on low for 4 hours. Top with optional garnishes before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Top each bowl with sliced olives, fresh basil, and parmesan cheese if you like. These are optional but add a pop of flavor and freshness!
This soup keeps well in the fridge for up to a week or can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 2 months. To reheat, place in a pot over low heat until warmed through.
Pair it with my go-to salads for a complete dinner: My Easy House Salad or Shaved Brussels Sprouts and Pear Salad with Dijon Vinaigrette.
Recipe Adaptations
- Sausage: Swap pork for turkey or chicken sausage if you prefer.
- Artichoke Hearts: Love them on your pizza? Keep them! Or replace with sun-dried tomatoes.
- Bell Peppers: I love green and yellow peppers for color, but red or orange work too.
- Fresh Basil: Swap in fresh oregano or arugula for extra greens!
