WHAT INSTANT POT SOUP RECIPES CAN I MAKE?

WHAT’S THE FIRST THING I SHOULD COOK IN MYINSTANT POT?
This is easily one of the most common questions I hear from new Instant Pot users. Soup is, without a doubt, the best place to start when it comes to learning to cook in an Instant Pot.
And here’s why: Most soup recipes are simple dump and cook recipes , it’s a great example of how pressure cooking can infuse flavors unlike any other cooking method, and it’s incredibly easy to clean up after.
HOW DO I USE THE INSTANT POT SOUP SETTING? AND WHEN
Think of the soup setting button as the Instant Pot equivalent of the popcorn button on your microwave, but for soup. The setting automatically brings the Instant Pot to the appropriate temperature and pressure for cooking soup.
Basically the soup setting allows the liquid to come up to heat slowly. The logic is that it keeps the broth from getting cloudy. So by heating it slowly at first, you don’t start out with a rolling boil from the get-go.
Then you can use the “adjust” key to select a shorter or longer cooking time depending on the recipe you’re cooking. The soup setting typically lasts for 20-50 minutes. Many of my soup recipes utilize the soup function, making the recipes just that much easier!
I actually use this setting for recipes that contain dairy, such as this Yogurt Soup recipe , or this Punjabi Chicken Curry WIth Spinach Recipe .
