How To Make Weight Loss Soup in Pressure Cooker

How To Make Weight Loss Soup in Pressure Cooker

To make this vegetable soup, place ingredients in the Instant Pot, set to high pressure and press the SOUP setting. Set timer to 12 minutes and let the pressure cooker do it’s work.

Cooking this soup in the electric pressure cooker can be as easy as placing all ingredients in the insert and set it to cook. I like to saute garlic and onion in olive oil for just a little bit, as I find that raw onion can overwhelm the soup with it’s flavor a bit. It’s a personal preference. You can use any beans you like. I used red kidney beans but you can use Northern white beans or black beans. You can skip the onion and use red pepper instead. Don’t like cauliflower? Use broccoli instead. Last but not least, use low sodium and low carb vegetable stock ( or chicken stock if you are not trying to make it vegan ). I love adding turmeric to any dish I can and I used it in this soup too. If you have it on hand, add 1/2 teaspoon. To read about the health benefits of turmeric, check out my Golden Milk Latte post.

Another addition you can use is to add more protein. Use quinoa ( a generous scoop of cooked quinoa is delicious with this soup) or cooked and shredded or diced chicken or even cooked ground turkey.
