PRESSURE COOKER CHICKEN SOUP FOR BUSY NIGHTS
This recipe is from the want to make lots of spicy, flavorful food in the weeks following our trip. This recipe is another opportunity to use your Instant Pot! It is about time to make a keto pressure cooker chicken soup in it.
Although, Instant Pot takes some time to get used to. With a slow cooker, the oven, or stove, you can see how things are going in the process. Unlike every other cooking method, the main issue with a pressure cooker is that you can’t “check on” your food to see if it’s done. Fortunately, the Instant Pot makes up for that slight downside. It just takes some practice – or an arsenal of great recipes! The huge advantage is that you can make things a lot faster, and it tends to be less cleanup, too. Win, win!
The process for how to make buffalo chicken soup in a pressure cooker is very straightforward. The Instant Pot does all the work.
