Notes
Thinner Soup - To make a thinner soup, you can use 1 cup more vegetable broth in the recipe.
Prevent Burn Message - After you sauté vegetables or meat in an Instant Pot, scrape the bottom of the Instant Pot with a wooden spoon. This is very important because it prevents food from sticking to the bottom of the pot and prevents receiving the Instant Pot burn message.
Storing Soup. This soup can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
