20-minute hearty bean and vegetable soup in an instant pot
Yup, this amazing soup is cooked in 20 minutes in my Philips All-in-One cooker, my current obsession. I can cook everything in it!! I love the saute function, and I always saute or brown my ingredients before using the ‘pressure cook’ mode. I save more than half the time using this as compared to using a traditional stove-top pot. Just yesterday, I cooked oyster sauce chicken with carrot and potatoes in 15 minutes. The meat was fall-off-the-bone! What a life-saver this is. I did a short introduction to the all-in-one cooker recently. Click here to read.
Homemade Pumpkin Soup
I’ve been wanting to own a handheld blender since forever, so I can make soups like this effortlessly! The last time I made a smooth, creamy soup was in 2014, when I cooked my Tomato and Bacon Cream Soup. I didn’t have a handheld blender then, so it was a tedious process of cooking the soup over the stove top, then transferring it in 2-3 batches to my blender/food processor, then returning it to the stove to heat.
