This is a really easy soup made in your Instant Pot. It's very forgiving so you cannot mess it up. It's a great soup for when you don't feel well and just need to feel comforted.
High in fiber, low in salt, and great for heart health and intestinal health.
Most of the ingredients are estimated. You can add a little more or less of each depending on your preference.
If you decide to add chicken, add fully cooked when soup is done.
