Instant Pot Soup Recipes?

Postby secdroid » Wed Sep 29, 2021 8:30 am

Fall weather is coming and I'd like to learn how to make hearty soups in the Instant Pot. Particularly interested in relatively simple recipes for lentil, split pea and minestrone.

Some good resources:
Simple Daily Recipes by Jill McKeever - blog and YouTube channel. She also wrote a number of small books, including the OMG Good Instant Pot Meals that Mary McDougall once held up and praised during a webinar.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzreeL ... oqhG9OnqIQ

FatFree Vegan by Susan Voisin, who appeared at the McDougall's Chef's Advanced Study Weekend and a long time McDougaller. Some of her recipes go back to the old stovetop pressure cooker days and she's still developing new ones today but for the electric pressure cookers.

The Nelson Family from VegSource - Jeff, Sabrina, and twin daughters Nina and Randa

There are some recipes on their website, and each of the Get Healthy Now DVD sets include a cooking demonstration by Sabrina making a pressure cooker soup or chili, but alas, never posted for free on YouTube or anywhere. The daughters wrote the Clear Skin Diet book which includes a load of recipes, including updated versions of their mother's pressure cooker ones for making in the InstantPot, and they may have demonstrated a few on their YouTube channel, too.

Jill Nussinow, The Veggie Queen, and a previous instructor at the McDougall Program:

Some of her recipes say to use oil to saute but she does remind people they can easily omit it.

This recipe is very quick, easy, and delicious. I’ve made it several times. I don’t bother using broth, I just add a bit more onion and a couple bay leaves. It’s the smoked paprika that makes it nice I think. I also don’t soak the lentils, just rinse them. If you leave the potato out it can be frozen very easily too. I sometimes add frozen greens when serving. You don’t have to watch the entire video, the recipe is posted also.

Appreciate the responses. Lots to investigate. I'm sure I will find some good ideas.

While not an Instant Pot recipe, the "Kale and White Bean Soup" recipe cited in the McD email "Mary in Your Kitchen: Meal Planning" on 2 Oct is KISS. Looks like one to try. https://www.drmcdougall.com/recipes/kale-and-white-bean-soup/
