I’ve made a few different soups with my Instant Pot (I have this one).  There have been some definite misses.  I’ll keep working on those.  But there has also been some hits.  This started off somewhere in the middle – it was just okay.  But a few tweaks later and I love it!  Using the Instant Pot makes it really good. Even though it doesn’t cook very long, it tastes like it has!

This recipe also works in the slow cooker.  Just put the same ingredients in the slow cooker and let it simmer away.  I like to serve with garlic bread or cheesy biscuits.

It’s a super simple soup – nothing strange in it.  Probably all stuff you already have in your pantry or your freezer.  That makes it easy to cook any time my dinner plans have gone awry or I only have a few minutes to devote to dinner preparation.  Love that!
