Tips for Instant Pot Soup Success
- When you’re preparing your soup, always factor in the time it takes for the Instant Pot to reach full pressure. For most standard recipes, you can expect 10-15 minutes to reach full pressure and begin the cooking time; however, a larger or more densely filled pot may take up to 20 minutes to reach pressure.
- Most Instant Pot soup recipes will call for a 10-minute natural release to let the flavors deepen in the pot.
- If your soup or stew is too thin, you can often create a cornstarch slurry (equal parts water and cornstarch) and stir it into the pot while on sauté mode. Start with approximately 1 tablespoon of slurry, stirring until the soup thickens, then add more slowly as needed.
- Soups, stews, and chili make the tastiest leftovers! To store single portions in the freezer, let the soup cool completely, then freeze in Souper Cubes or other tightly-sealed containers. Note: I generally don’t recommend freezing dairy-based soups due to separation when defrosted.
