A hearty soup that’s not too heavy, this Creamy Paleo Instant Pot Sausage and Potato Soup is the perfect amount of savory and spice.

There’s still a little frost on the ground but I’ll be darned if Spring is not peeking its little sunny head out. Thanks golly Winter is almost over, I thought I might not make it. In the meantime, we’ll keep souping it up over here.
In 8 short weeks my crew is packing up (yes again and yes we did just basically move here) and heading town to Florida for a year or two. Of all the places the military could send us, I’m not real mad about Florida. I mean, 30 minutes from the beach and swim weather year round? SIGN. ME. UP.
The less great part is the fact that we have to schlep our family to yet another new city, new set of schools, new doctors, new residence. But I’m hopeful this next assignment will be personally rewarding and spiritually fulfilling, because like I said…. BEACH. Ocean. Sand. Salty air.
Plus let’s be honest, as long as I have my family, my Instant Pot, coffee, and snacks, I reckon we’ll be just fine.
Creamy Paleo Instant Pot Sausage and Potato Soup
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons cooking fat (avocado oil, ghee, lard)

Instructions
- Press the saute feature on your Instant Pot and drizzle in the cooking fat
- Add in the onion and sausage, sauteing and breaking up the meat for around 5 minutes

Where in Florida are you moving? McDill?
Yes!
Yay!! Maybe I will be so lucky to run into you one day at the mall or somewhere around town ☺️ Love all your recipes that I’ve tried. Welcome to Florida!!
That would be a treat! Thank you!
When did Yukon potatoes become Paleo?
“Essentially, white potatoes aren’t paleo because they’re starchy vegetables and have a high glycemic index.”
Perhaps retitle recipe as “Creamy Predominantly Paleo…”

Hello, could you tell me if the cassava can be exchanged with anything? I have arrowroot and tapioca starch. Would the quantity be the same?
Arrowroot or Tapioca should work. Not sure if quantities will change slightly.
I want to make this this week and am wondering if you think Kite Hill cream cheese would work okay? (It’s an almond based dairy free cream cheese.) I am nursing my baby boy right now and have to be dairy free for him. This looks delicious!
I think so yes!
This soup is delicious! I made it using Kite Hill Cream Cheese and it worked great – perhaps a little more work to dissolve that brand into the soup so next time I might take a portion out of the instant pot and use an immersion blender with the cream cheese before combining it all. I also subbed white sweet potatoes because I can’t have nightshades right now, and balanced out the sweetness with a generous amount of fresh cracked black pepper. We served it with a generous handful of fresh parsley and my husband and I both loved it. This will be in our permanent soup rotation now! Thank you so much!
A big thumbs up from the whole family. All 3 kids like, which is nothing short of a miracle to find a recipe that all of them will eat!!!
Yesssss!!!!!
I made this today and it was a hit. My husband only likes thick soups so this was perfect. And so easy. Plus I subbed local green chile pork sausage for the breakfast sausage and left out the coconut aminos.. Just the right spice kick for us New Mexicans! Going into my rotation. Thank you!
Sounds delicious, thanks for sharing!
