A few weeks ago J and I invested in an Instant Pot and man is it awesome! Not only is it a time saver it’s also a seven in one multi-functional cooker: pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, sautes/browns, yogurt maker, steamer, and warmer in one! After spending three hours on the road today returning home from a fun weekend in PA, I was looking to make something for dinner that was quick, tasty, and did not require a trip to the store. In the winter I am always sure to keep the following staples so that at the very least I can whip up some kind of soup in a pinch:

  • Organic, reduced sodium, vegetable and/or chicken broth
  • Muir Glen organic cans of tomatoes (BPA free!)
  • Yellow onions
  • Garlic

Anything else I find in my fridge or pantry to throw in is just an added bonus! J has been under the weather so instantly knew that fresh ginger root would play a role in this soup due to its natural immune boosting properties! For those of you that do not have an Instant Pot, this soup can also be made on the stove top.
