I love my Instant Pot
Ever since I got an Instant Pot® (IP) it has become my favorite appliance. I use it so much that I got tired of dragging it up from the cupboard under the counter and now it lives on my kitchen counter full-time. It gets used regularly for a wide variety of dishes. That includes for summer meals.
Just because it's summertime doesn't mean that we should not eat soup. And while there are lots of delicious cold summer soups, like this amazing gazpacho, even hot soups can be a wonderful summertime dish because they take advantage of the season and what's fresh. Of course just because we want to enjoy summer soups, doesn't mean we want the heat and humidity in our kitchen that comes along with cooking soup. That's where the instant pot is such an amazing kitchen tool. it takes so much less time and therefore adds less heat to the kitchen.
This recipe is so quick and easy to put together that it's sure to become one of your summertime (or anytime) favorites. And one of the best things about it is that it's actually a pretty flexible recipe. Don't have green beans? Use lima beans. Or asparagus. Don't have zucchini, add mushrooms. You really can add a wide variety of vegetables to this. (pssst…I've sometimes been known to clean out my crisper drawer by simply throwing a bunch of veggies into the instant pot, following the general proportions of this recipe, adding bone broth, herbs, and letting the IP do it's magic.)
