Recipe Summary Instant Pot&Reg; Sauerkraut Soup With Sausage

Emeril Lagasse's sauerkraut soup with sausage has been one of my favorites for years. While it is not hard to make on the stovetop, it does take an hour and a half. This is my adaptation for the Instant Pot®. Serve with crusty bread, if desired.
