Ensure the Instant Pot liner is inside and turn on the sauté function to warm up.

Add 2 tablespoons of avocado oil to the pot and let it heat up.

Add 1 pound of Italian ground sausage and 1/2 cup of chopped red onion to the pot, breaking up the sausage into smaller pieces to brown evenly.

Add 2 tablespoons of minced garlic to the pot and let the sausage, onion, and garlic cook together until browned.

Add 1 teaspoon of oregano and 1 teaspoon of basil to the mixture and stir to combine.

Pour in 3 cups of vegetable broth and stir well.

Slice 14 oz can of hearts of palm into rounds and add them to the pot, stirring gently to combine.

Add 12 oz of fresh spinach to the pot and fold it in until it wilts down.

Once the timer goes off, turn off the unit and allow the pressure to release naturally for about 10 minutes.

Carefully switch to release any remaining pressure and open the lid, mixing the contents.

Add 1 cup of heavy cream to the pot and stir until combined and slightly thickened.

Serve the soup in bowls, garnished with Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper.
