All the food groups in one soup? You bet! That’s why I call it Instant Pot FOOD GROUP SOUP! Catchy isn’t it?

Thanksgiving 2020 is officially behind us, for better or worse. How was it for you? I hope it was peaceful if nothing else. And we are now heading straight into December – are we glad about it? Who even knows anymore. But I’m happy about this. I have successfully shoved all the food groups into this soup: meat, grain, veggies, fruit, dairy, and fat! We may not always agree that we need all the groups, but nevertheless they are all repped here. Adjust as you want, no need to feedback me to death. 

The good news is though, this soup is so easy to adapt. Don’t want dairy? Leave it out or swap it with a dairy free version. Don’t want carbs? Leave out the pasta. You  can basically edit this soup backwards and forwards and still end up with something edible. Naturally I recommend it how I made it, but you do you sugar lips. 

Also seeing as I am turning 44 in just a few days, I have some sage advice for those of you feeling lost this year. Cue up Netflix, start Gossip Girl at the beginning, and put on your favorite PJs. It’s time for a marathon with this soup, all seasons of Gossip Girl, and your favorite place to snuggle. I’m not saying I have life completely figured out, but I’m 100% confident that 6 long seasons of mindless on demand entertainment are the answer to your everything.
