Adjusting soup on the fly

March 5, 2024

What do I mean by adjusting soup on the fly? Good question. I made a pot of vegetarian chili in the Instant Pot the other day and had it for dinner. It was not my best attempt at soup or chili. I think I put too much broth in. It was not as thick as I expect chili to be. Maybe it was because I didn’t add any meat but I’m pretty sure I’ve made vegetarian chili before and it was fine. I ate a bowl of the chili and stuck the remainders in the refrigerator. Then the next day I made a pot roast for a family dinner. I made it in the Instant Pot as well. Basically the pot roast consisted of chuck roast (beef), potatoes...

Instant Pot Lentil Soup with Potatoes and Spinach

February 9, 2023

Food and Drink, Recipes

I thought I'd share my recipe for lentil soup with potatoes and spinach made in the instant pot. Chris shared with you a picture of her soup that she had when we went out for lunch. She always gets the v9 soup. I always get their lentil soup. I rarely make lentil soup but I really enjoy it. So since it's a cold wintry day today and I had the lentils in my pantry, I thought I need to make some soup. This recipe is fast to make and is easy. Ingredients 1 Tbsp olive oil One onion diced Two cloves garlic minced 1 carrot, diced 1 celery stalk diced 2 White potatoes, diced 1 16-oz package of green lentils One bay leaf Four cups of chicken stock Two cups of water 2 to 3 large handfuls of fresh spinach Salt...

Making Hard Boiled Eggs in the Instant Pot

December 1, 2022

Fit and Strong, Recipes

My new favorite thing is making hard boiled eggs in the Instant Pot. I like hard boiled eggs because they're good for a snack and can be added to a salad. I also make deviled eggs once in a while. Why do I keep posting things about using my Instant Pot? I like using it because I can walk away from it and not have to worry about something boiling over on the stove or basically paying attention to what's cooking. If you do a search on this website for Instant Pot, you'll find a number of different recipes. We also discussed this on the Fit Strong Women over 50 Podcast, Episode 112 FAQ – Ask Us Anything with Chris and Jill It's not hard to make...

Creamy Vegetable Soup in the Instant Pot

I came up with my version of creamy vegetable soup in the Instant Pot. I was out of town unexpectedly recently and left with a refrigerator full of vegetables. When I got back, I realized that I needed to use some of the produce quickly or I was going to have to throw it out. It was more than I could eat in one sitting so I tried to come up with a creative solution. We've shared a variety of vegetable recipes on this site. Chris shared a recipe for vegetable soup. I didn't have enough variety of veggies to make her recipe so had to come up with something different. Creamy Vegetable Soup in the Instant Pot Here’s the recipe I created. I used the Instant Pot for...

Making Coconut Yogurt in the Instant Pot

December 1, 2020

Fit and Strong, Food and Drink, Recipes

I figured out how to make coconut yogurt in the Instant Pot. It's easy though it does take some time. I've been trying to eat more fermented foods and when we talked with Christine Bailey on a recent podcast, she said yogurt was a great option. She also recommended coconut yogurt if you are not eating dairy. I've been avoiding dairy for a few months because a doctor suggested that some of my skin problems might be related to dairy. Like most of us, I love certain dairy products. Cheese, sour cream, cream in my coffee. I love all of that. But eliminating all of that has helped me feel better. I do like yogurt. For a long time my go-to breakfast was plain Greek yogurt with berries...

Cabbage, Potato, and Sausage Soup in the Instant Pot

Fit and Strong, Food and Drink, Recipes, Veggie Challenge

It's fall once again and my heart turns to soups, including my recipe for a Cabbage, Potato, and Sausage Soup and I'm using the Instant Pot for this. If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can make this just as easily on the stove. I wanted to see how the cabbage and potato would work in the Instant Pot and it turned out great. In all of the recipes in Becoming Elli, you can count on there being a lot of recipes that include cabbage. I'm not sure why that is. I posted my basic cabbage soup recipe a while ago. Ingredients 1/2 Tbsp. avocado oil 2 carrots, chopped 2 stalks of celery, chopped About 1 lb of baby red potatoes, cut in half or quarters depending on the size 1/2 of...
