Ingredients

Scale

1 Tablespoon olive oil

1 pound mild Italian sausage, casing removed

6 slices bacon (chopped in bite sized pieces) or prepackaged crumble bacon

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 yellow onion, diced

6 Yukon gold potatoes (about 1.5 pounds), diced into 1/2 inch pieces or 3 russet potatoes

5 cups of chicken broth 

1 cup water

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

5 ounces fresh spinach or kale

1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Turn the sauté mode on the instant pot

Add your chopped bacon and sauté until crispy, then remove the bacon from the instant pot

Add olive oil and allow to heat up for 1 minute, then add onion, garlic and sauté a couple minutes (just until softened)

Add the sausage to the pot breaking up and stirring until cooked through

Press cancel on the instant pot and add the potatoes, chicken broth, water, salt, pepper, dried oregano, (optional: add kale at this point) and stir
