Instant Pot Andouille Sausage Stew loaded with collard greens, Yukon gold potatoes, tomatoes and sweet onion. A simple and satisfying meal that is ready in less than 30 minutes!
Whoa. I totally underestimated the impact of moving with two little kids. The last couple of weeks have been non-stop and exhausting. Between packing up our old house, moving and then setting up the new house, we have been go-go-go for weeks now.
One of the very first rooms that we set up was the kitchen but the truth is, I just wasn’t feeling very inspired or excited to cook yet. There was just so much to do in every single room and so we were eating pretty simple meals like rotisserie chicken and salad or eggs.
This past week there has been a shift. Most of the house is now set up, and the parts that aren’t seem (somewhat) manageable. We finally got to go out into our new neighborhood and walk around, discovering really cool parks, streams and even a U-Pick blueberry farm within walking distance!
We also got to explore our local Farmer’s Market this past Sunday. It’s nice, a bit on the small side compared to the markets we are used to but still loaded with amazing WA fruits, veggies and other vendors. Plus, it’s about 5 minutes away in the car so no complaints.
I picked up some local collard greens and decided to put my Instant Pot to good use by making a simple stew. This dish has a handful of ingredients and is packed with flavor. It freezes well and tastes better the next day.
If you don’t have an Instant Pot, you could make this in a slow-cooker for 4 hours on High or 8 hours on Low. I do recommend searing off the sausage, onions and tomatoes first so you get a more flavorful final dish.
NOTES:
- I used Pork Andouille Sausage but you could substitute chicken or turkey. Just make sure to add 2 T extra virgin olive oil before sauteing.
- I used a low sodium chicken broth so added 1 teaspoon of salt. You may want to just add a pinch while cooking and season with salt before serving depending on how salty the broth you are using is.

You don’t state in the recipe if you did natural pressure release or quick release?
EverydayMaven says
I need to update that – thanks Holly!! I always use a natural release (of at least 15 to 20 min) for any type of soup or hot liquid in volume.

Another success! I made this in my new hot pot (got my Christmas wish) and wow! So good and really so easy! I took a small sample bowl up to the wife who was still in bed at 1 in the afternoon. She asked what was in it and I told her. She really doesn’t care for collard greens nor sausage too much but she said it smelled really good so she took a taste. She loved it (at least after 2 bowls I think I can safely assume she loved it)! I might need a bigger hot pot – mine is only 6 quarts and I can see that I will be using it a lot! Anyways, thanks for yet another great recipe!
EverydayMaven says
Yay!! Love that your wife enjoyed this and got to try new flavors. I also have the 6QT and have considered the larger one but I’ve heard it takes a lot longer to come to pressure when its full!
Debbie says
This looks wonderful! Making tonight with the greens and tomatoes for our garden?
EverydayMaven says
How did it turn out Debbie?
Debbie says
It w-as really good. I used mild Italian sausage and browned it up like hamburger. However,, next time I think I would use regular Italian sausage links and cut it up into chunks. Or I might try it with skinless bratwurst that our grocery store has. Nevertheless, it will be on a regular meal rotation.
EverydayMaven says
Glad you liked it Debbie!

Andouille sausage is wonderful stuff! Love its garlicky flavor. Lovely dish — this is terrific. Thanks!
EverydayMaven says
Me too John – one of my favs for soups and stews!
Jody T says
This looks so good! I love my instant pot and am always looking for new recipes! How spicy did your stew end up with the andouille sausage? My kids can only tolerate mild spice. Thanks!
EverydayMaven says
Hi Jody – too spicy for my kids and they like semi-spicy food. I would go with a Mild Italian Sausage instead of the Andouille, add 2 T extra virgin olive oil and some fresh herbs like flat leaf parsley, rosemary and thyme!
