Our Best Instant Pot Soup Recipes

There’s nothing more comforting on a chilly night than a steamy bowl of homemade soup. When you’re short on time but still craving the slow-cooked flavor of something made from scratch, reach for your multicooker. It can cut down on time and effort—making everything from chicken soup to beef stew a breeze. One of our favorite recipes? This hearty Southern stew that is bascially a one-pot meal. Satisfying chuck roast and mixed veggies swim in a delicious tomato broth that’s perked up with just a touch of hot sauce. While it’s not as thick as some other stews, it’s one recipe that’s sure to fill even the hungriest bellies.
