This Wild Rice & Soup takes things to the next level with the addition of wild rice and fresh veggies and herbs. This dreamy soup will be sure to warm your body and spirit when the days get cold.
Instant Pot Beef Pho
Pho is one of my all-time favorite soups. It's why I had to include it in my book, Wandering Palate. The savory broth with spices, beef and fresh herbs make for a delicious rich and fragrant combination. The recipe is easily adjustable to make it as spicy or as savory as you want from pot to pot!
Instant Pot Thai Coconut Curry
Curries are great to have in one’s back pocket as they are versatile and healthy, filled with plenty of protein, spices, and vegetables. This one is fast, especially when using an Instant Pot. Although you may be more familiar with Indian-type curries, this one takes on the flavors of Thai dishes such as fish sauce, lime, and coconut milk. It's a perfect way to warm your hands this winter.
Instant Pot Chicken Veggie Soup
This soup also comes from my book, Wandering Palate, and is super simple to make in your Instant Pot. Batches can be frozen in mason jars to have on hand if you are ever feeling under the weather. This classic combination of flavors is sure to please diners of all ages!
Instant Pot Beef Stew
This hearty beef stew is simple to make and extremely nutrient-dense. The hearty beef will warm you right to your core and keep tummys full through long winter activities. It can also be frozen in a mason jar and thawed out when you need a simple meal that is ready to go. This soup is perfect for sharing indoors or outdoors. You can get this recipe and more in my book, Wandering Palate.
Instant Pot Moroccan Chicken Tagine
Tagine is an exotic warm stew that is very easy to make in the Instant Pot. It usually consists of a lot of nightshades and pepper-based spices so I wanted to make a nightshade-free version that is just as tasty. In my book, Wandering Palate, I'll lead you into the warm waters of Tagine from which, I promise, you will never want to return.
Instant Pot Bone Broth
Making your own Bone Broth with an Instant Pot is an absolute game changer and one of the easiest things in the world. You can use leftover bones from roasting a chicken or purchase some grass-fed beef bones and make a delicious and healing broth. Enjoy bone broth on its own or as the base for any of the other recipes in this list! Still not in the mood to make your own bone broth? No worries. You can always order a clean and healthy bone broth already made from Osso Good Broth.

This Mexican Tortilla Chicken Soup is a heartwarming, healthy soup that will fill you up on cold winter nights or anytime you need a quick and hearty dinner.

Roasted Tomato Soup
Tomato soup is a hearty and warming soup but this recipe takes it to a whole other level when you first roast the cherry tomatoes in an herby and garlicky mixture and then turn them into the tastiest tomato soup you have ever tasted

Many people think of Soup Season as autumn. Let me tell you, I am loving This Creamy Thai-Inspired Soup! The carrots and coconut milk pair perfectly with the turmeric, ginger and basil letting this soup transport you to warm lands. Plus, all coconut soup get better with age. This soup will taste better if you make a big batch and enjoy throughout the week.
Instant Pot Black Beans
Dried beans are a wonderful pantry staple because of their versatility, and black beans are no different. These Black Beans cook in an Instant Pot ensuring that you get super tender beans to enjoy on their own or combine with your favorite recipes. Consider adding these to huevos rancheros, stews, or soups, or even making your very own refried beans. You'll never look at a bag of beans the same way again.
Sopa De Fideo
Sopa De Fideo’s an old recipe my mom used to make for me when I was young. It is totally soothing healthy comfort food that is great when you feel under the weather or want a nourishing but light dinner. It combines maifun rice noodles with rich bone broth, tomatoes, and garlic for something perfectly heartwarming and amazing for a cool day.
Instant Pot Lentil Soup
Now I know this soup isn’t Paleo, but I have been experimenting with adding legumes into my diet on occasion and I seem to be tolerating them well. When eating legumes, you definitely want to prepare them according to the ancestral diet and soak them to reduce the phytic acid and lectins. They are highly nutritious and filling and make a great base for this lentil soup recipe. Lentils are rich in dietary fibre and add a nutty flavor to your table.
Instant Pot Butternut Squash
Nothing says fall like a creamy Butternut Squash Soup. This soup is easy to make with the help of an Instant Pot since it cuts down the cooking time substantially. The addition of warming spices like cinnamon and nutmeg helps round out the sweet squash flavor, while a garnish of pumpkin seeds adds a pleasing crunch to this otherwise creamy soup. Bring this year end classic to your table - it's always a crowd pleaser.
Instant Pot Creamy Broccoli Soup
Hearty, Creamy Broccoli Soup is made paleo and dairy free with the inclusion of coconut milk, although you may feel free to include grass-fed cream if you can tolerate dairy. The Instant Pot makes soup making incredibly easy so that with a small amount of prep, you can have this warming, nutritious soup any night of the week. Consider featuring this as a side or appetizers for meals around holiday time.
Instant Pot Cheddar and Broccoli Soup
Broccoli and cheddar are a match made in heaven. They work in so many ways, shapes, and forms. Broccoli andcCheddar come together perfectly in this dreamy and creamy soup with a bone broth base!
