1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
2 carrots, chopped into ½-inch rounds
1 ½ cups celery, chopped into ½-inch pieces
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 large bay leaf
¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions for Making Instant Pot Kielbasa Cabbage and Potato Soup
Step 1: Sauté the Kielbasa
Turn on the Sauté function on your Instant Pot. Once the display reads “Hot,” add the kielbasa pieces to the pot.
Cook the kielbasa, stirring frequently, until it’s lightly browned. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
Once browned, remove the kielbasa from the pot and set it aside. Discard any excess fat left in the pot.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pot. Once heated, add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure the onion softens.
Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot to incorporate those flavors into the soup. If necessary, add a couple of splashes of the broth to loosen any stubborn bits.
Next, add the minced garlic, carrots, and celery. Stir well and cook for about 30 seconds to release their aroma.
