On cold days there isn’t anything quite like a warm bowl of soup. This recipe comes from reading several online and wanting to try something different than the taco soup we usually make. I added crushed tortilla chips, cheese and green onions to the top of mine because I love toppings! The green onions were…

Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup
The snow is falling this morning. That means… BOOM! We get another soup day. It feels like a bonus day because I was afraid soup season had ended. Chicken tortilla soup is probably one of my favorites because it has the mexican flavors that I love and you can so easily spice up individual bowls…
Nacho Cheese Soup
I tried this soup for the first time at my Mom and Dad’s. It’s from the Better Homes and Gardens Biggest Book of Soup and Stews. It’s a good cookbook for a lover of soup and stews. My only complaint is that I wish there were more pictures. There’s some… but not a lot. I…
Instant Pot Stew
I know I’ve been stewing it up here lately between the Crock-Pot and trying it in the oven… but I just had to give stew in the instant pot a try. This is essentially my slow cooker recipe that I adapted to the IP. The beauty of stew is you are in charge of throwing…
Cheeseburger Soup in the Instant Pot!
Here’s a recipe where I took what I would have done on the stove and adapted it for the instant pot. I LOVE that I can saute, pressure cook and then saute again all in the same pot. One pot equals less work equals happy family. Let’s Get Crafty! Turn the instant pot to saute…
Beef Stew Hot from the Oven
I usually make beef stew in the Crock-Pot and wanted to make it using a Crock-Pot cast iron dutch oven that my husband got me for Mother’s Day. I’ve actually been wanting to try this for a while and was excited to have a Sunday afternoon at home to do it. Every good stew needs…
Green Chile Soup in the Instant Pot
Quick and easy! Just the way I like it. This was thrown together together last Friday night when I wanted something warm and comforting. It had been a long week and pizza didn’t seem like something that would satisfy. I had planned on adding the green chiles to my bowl and not the Instant Pot…
Beef Stew – using one of my starters!
Remember a couple weeks ago when there was a really good beef roast sale? I used one of those beef stew starters on a busy week morning. I threw everything in the Crock-Pot before we left to face the day. During my son’s football practice my daughter and I ran to the grocery store and…
Instant Pot Chicken and Dumplings
My Mom made chicken and dumplings when we were kids. It’s such a comforting, hearty dish to me. It was one of my older brother’s favorites, so he would often pick it as his birthday dinner. This is one of those meals that I can make and know my kids will eat it up. Veggies…
Instant Pot Potato Soup
I’m loving the Instant Pot! This was our second recipe over the weekend. What am I loving? I’m loving the flexibility of putting something in and walking off to do whatever else needs to be done knowing that everything is safe in the pressure cooker and doesn’t even need to be stirred during cooking! I…
