Simple Chicken Soup

This comfort food classic is just as flavorful and soul-satisfying as Grandma's chicken soup, but where hers took several hours to make, ours takes under an hour. Instead of long-simmered stock, we start with store-bought chicken broth and water but enrich them with stock vegetables and the bones and meat of a leftover roast chicken.

Instant Pot Black Bean Soup

Thanks to your Instant Pot, the beans for this creamy soup don't need to be soaked overnight. And they cook, under pressure, for just 1 hour. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can puree the beans in batches in a regular blender (but take care, they will be hot).

French Three Onion Soup

We took the best part of this classic soup, all the sweet caramelized onions, and left behind all the fat. By steaming the onions to get the caramelization started, you can eliminate the need for almost all the fat. A small sprinkling of a good cheese at the end goes a long way.
