    So funny about the pot blowing. My Mom never worried about that.

    I didn't know they made a mini one. That sounds like a nice gift! Gonna check it out and see if it's simple enough for my Mom.

    I definitely got that admonition too @Nhcris. My parents and grandma used the pressure cooker often, usually to make cauliflower!

    I am going to make this tomorrow! We have lots of snow, and this will be just perfect after a cross country skiing adventure.

    Yummm, that is one of the soup recipes I make and freeze - although mine is a 16 bean soup. Enjoy!

    @Curlyd Do you make it in the Instant Pot? Does the recipe look right to you?

    I do have an old fashion pressure cooker and a new fashion slow cooker. Sometimes I use the slow cooker (Cuisinart that browns and simmers too) to make some of my soups but I also just use my old fashion soup pot. The recipe is just about like mine and looks yummy. Sometimes I use vegetable stock instead of chicken and I try to skim off some of the grease on top at the end. But it looks delicious and I am sure it will taste good too! One not though, I am not sure 55 min would be enough in a slow cooker setting but maybe that is part of the Instant Pot process.


    OK just re-read the recipe - the 55 min is for the insta-pot version - that should be OK, enjoy!

    I love my pressure cooker and have used one all my life (Mom taught me). But the more I see of the Instant Pot I might just invest in one to give it a try. It requires less watching than my pressure cooker.

    I like simple things. For instance 43 years ago my in-laws gave Bill and I a rice cooker for an anniversary gift. At that time they had to go to China Town here in Chicago to find one. I was terrible at cooking rice (cause we never ate it growing up). Anyway I have loved that thing all these years because I can load it and go and it always comes out perfect!

    Of course I have been cutting way back on using it as I try to reduce my carbs so it is getting a little dusty. My point is I think I would like the Instant Pot for it's simplicity.
