Introduction : Soup
I love my Instant Pot and I love it even more when it can make dinner in a hurry, not to mention making dinner can now actually be an enjoyable thing to do!
This week in our CSA bag we had Celery, Red Peppers, and 9-Bean Soup Mix and so we we threw a bunch of stuff in the Instant Pot and had dinner ready in 45 minutes – pretty spectacular considering we had no idea what to make.

You can make 9-Bean Soup Mix in a Crock Pot but you will not be able to have it done and ready for the family in 45 minutes – it takes about 6-8 hours on low.. sorry but I don’t have time for that!
