First, I wanted to say that I am now creating two posts, for most recipes. Since I am often doing this anyways, I wanted to tell everyone that although the pictures look the same, I did re-create this recipe 2x. Once, for my family, who isn’t Gluten Free and one for my son and me who are GF. I think it will cause less confusion.
In addition, if I list soy sauce or another ingredient and you are GF, please make sure you grab the GF option at your store. I had several questions about that. I am also going to start adding links to my recipe, so you can click on it to see what, I am actually using. Hopefully, it will cut down on the confusion. If not, just send me an email, and I will answer your question.
So, why did I get an Instant Pot?
Because, I had been trying for about a year, to create two dinners for my family. And my girlfriend, kept on telling me to get an Instant Pot, because I would find life a lot easier nad you know what, she was right.
If you do not have an Instant Pot, I want you to add up all of the money you spend on eating out, if it is less than the item below, great, if not, it’s time to invest in yourself.
You will not regret it.
Now, I have been cooking a lot (almost every day) with my Instant Pots. (I have 2).
I am really trying to create the best recipes, I can without spending hours over the stove. Life is just too busy for that.
So, it has been snowing out. And, my kids wanted a soup. So, I picked out the one, that I had almost everything in my house for.
