Frequently Asked Questions

How do you use the Instant Pot for soup?

Soup has never been easier than with the help of the Instant Pot. You can use the sauté option to cook up your onions and veggies and then just select high pressure and a 10 minute cook time and you’ll have soup before you know it.

What is good to serve with soup?

I like to pair my soup with a crusty bread or a simple salad. You could also add a grilled cheese sandwich to complete the meal. Bread suggestions would be my famous sourdough bread, baguettes, Mom’s French bread, or cornbread.

Is chicken breast or thigh better for soup?

They can be used interchangeably however, chicken thighs are juicer, more tender and have a fuller flavor than chicken breasts do. But I for sure use chicken breast in this too.
