Italian Sausage and Spinach Soup

   I made this for 2010 Christmas Eve dinner, it was simple, light and VERY good... And now I've added an Instant Pot variation!!
 .5 pound Sweet Italian Pork (in 3/4" pieces)
4 cups Chicken Broth
.5 tsp dried   Oregano Leaves
1/2 Medium Onion, Chopped
1 Medium Carrot, sliced
1 cup Coarsely chopped spinach
 
 Directions: Use Saute on the Instant Pot on high (or Preheat a pot that is large enough to hold all ingredients over medium-high heat for 1 minute). Add sausage, cook until brown and drain the fat. Add broth, oregano, onion and carrot. Pressure cook on high for 1 minute with quick release (or if using a stove/pot, heat to a boil; cover and cook for 10 mins or until vegetables are cooked). Stir in spinach. Serve Immediately.
 
 Notes: For the spinach, either fresh or frozen may be used. Alter the amount of spinach/onion to your families liking.
