Tips for the Best Instant Pot Soups
The Instant Pot becomes my go-to in soup season. It locks in flavor to build delicious soups, hearty chilis, and cozy stews in record time! But before we talk recipes, I wanted to share a few tricks to remember to make them shine.
- Mind the max fill line. You need to leave room for pressure to build and keep in mind soups bubble when pressure cooked.
- Natural pressure release is your friend. Letting the pressure come down naturally (even just 10 minutes) helps prevent splatter and locks in flavor.
- Select quality stock or broth. A well seasoned broth, stock, or bone broth is a key building block to a delicious soup. Use a quality store brand or homemade (like Instant Pot chicken stock or Instant Pot vegetable broth) for the best flavor.
- Finish smart. A splash of lemon juice, a swirl of cream, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs can elevate the flavor without extra work.
