Instant Pot Thai Chicken Curry Soup

Instant Pot Thai Chicken Curry Soup is a takeout-worthy dish you can make at home! Despite the sriracha, this Instant Pot Thai Chicken Curry Soup isn’t as spicy as you might thin.

Instant Pot Split Pea Soup with Ham

Split Pea Soup is a family favorite. It’s one of the dishes my grandmother used to make and we’d all sit around her giant dining table sopping up the broth with bread from the deli. As a sucker for tradition, I still love to serve Instant Pot Split Pea Soup with Ham with a loaf of crusty, deli-style bread. Cornbread, pretzel rolls, or a big salad would all be great options too.

Instant Pot White Chicken Chili

Instant Pot White Chicken Chili is one of my personal favorites. The creamy texture combined with just a little kick from the chopped green chilies is just so good on a chilly evening. Generally, it involves some planning because my slow cooker version of this chili requires the beans to be pre-soaked. Luckily, Instant Pot White Chicken Chili speeds this process right along.

Instant Pot Velma’s Chili 

This chili is a great base recipe, which means it’s really easy to adapt too. Try switching out the ground beef for turkey or venison, or adding in some more vegetables. Get creative with toppings, too – from shredded cheese and diced green onions to cream cheese and fritos!
