Ingredients

  • 1 lb italian sausage or ground beef, seasoned with Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup onion diced
  • 2 tbsp garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup green onion diced
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 cup pepperoni diced (or use minis)
  • 1 cup bacon crumbled
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp italian seasoning
  • 1 small can black olives optional
  • 1 small can jalapeno optional
  • 1 small can sliced mushrooms optional
  • 1/2 cup pepperoncinis drained, optional
  • 4 oz cream cheese cubed
  • shredded mozzarella for garnish
  • extra pepperoni for garnish

Instructions

  • Add olive oil to the inner pot of the Instant Pot and select saute mode.
  • When the oil is heated, add onion, garlic, and Italian sausage to the pot. Cook until sausage is no longer pink, and crumbled.
  • Drain the excess fat from the inner pot and cancel saute mode.
  • Add rest of the ingredients, minus cream cheese and garnishes, to the inner pot of the Instant Pot and stir well. Replace and lock lid and turn valve to sealed position.
  • Select the soup setting, normal pressure, and cook for 10 minutes. It will take the pot 10-15 minutes to reach pressure before cooking time starts.
  • When finished cooking, let the Instant Pot natural release for 10 minutes, then release the rest of the pressure by flipping the sealing valve to the venting position.
  • Leave the pot on keep warm mode and remove lid. Stir in cubed cream cheese and mix until melted and incorporated into the soup. Turn off Instant Pot. 
  • Serve warm, garnish with mozzarella cheese and extra pepperonis if desired.

Notes

Making in the Slow Cooker?

  • Follow the same instructions for browning the sausage, but do so on the stove top. Drain excess fat.
  • Add all ingredients minus the cream cheese and garnishes to the pot of the Slow Cooker.
  • Place lid on top and cook for 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high.
  • 30 minutes before serving, add cubed cream cheese to pot and allow to melt. Stir to incorporate.
  • Serve warm with cheese and extra pepperoni for garnish.
