One Hour Soup Prep: 6 Varieties and Mirepoix for the Week – A Time-Saving, Waste-Reducing Approach!

[c0ndy]

What do you add when you go to cook in the insta pot? Water? How much? Great idea & work!!

 

[liamkincaid]

@c0ndy water! Sometimes a can of diced tomatoes if I want more tomato flavor. Usually 8-9 cups of water is enough. I don't overfill the IP mainly and consider how thick I want the soup to be. Usually 2:1 ratio for water to beans is a good standby.

@liamkincaid thank you

Do you put all the ingredients in the bags? So you grab it and into the pot it goes?

 

[liamkincaid]

@aver I do! If I run out of something, I just make a note to add it when I put it in the IP.

 

[bextermojica]

Do you add the dried beans when you cook the soup or into the prepped ingredients?

 

[liamkincaid]

@bextermojica I add the dried beans into the bag after rinsing. They cook great in the IP!

 

[jake49]

@liamkincaid When you add the dried beans, how many minutes under pressure, and natural pressure release?

 

[liamkincaid]

@jake49 Usually 30 minutes and fast release. I use the soup button on mine.

@liamkincaid thank you, Laura!

 

[jtankers]

@liamkincaid how is the soup button different from the pressure cook button? I have never used it. Ty. Looks great.

wow, talk about organized!

 

[liamkincaid]

@millymollymandy668 I have times when I am and times when we aren't as much as a family. It's a work in progress.

 

[millymollymandy668]

@liamkincaid it sure is, and it's wonderful that your 5yr gets involved, my 25yr old, nope not a chance in --

 

[liamkincaid]

@millymollymandy668 my 7 year old isn't interested, either. Each kid has their own interests.
