I chose to use my Instant Pot for this soup because the sausage needed to be browned and I didn't want to dirty another pan.  Using the saute function on my Instant Pot allowed me to cook the sausage first and then just add the remaining ingredients before, covering, pressing the slow cook button and walking away.

Serve this up with some crusty bread and it makes a scrumptious, filling meal that your family will love.
