Tips
- If you don't have the vegetables from the recipe below, substitute with your favorites - green beans, zucchini, chopped cabbage instead of Brussels sprouts, but load it up with veggies and make this a hearty meal!
- Be sure to cut the vegetables uniformly - that way all of the vegetables will cook evenly and fit on one spoon.
- Adding a squeeze of lemon and a handful of chopped parsley will brighten the flavors of your soup, making your homemade meal even more delicious!
- Use a rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken picked clean from the bones.

Recipe backstory
I have a confession and this is something you've probably figured out. We eat soup year-round. Even in the heat of the summer I enjoy making and eating soup.
Do I sound crazy? Maybe, but I know this is one of the reasons I've succeeded in my weight loss goal! at the first of the year Dan and I both set a goal to loose weight.
My goal was to lose 15 pounds by March 31st - Dan's goal was 20. Dan lost 23 and I lost 14 pounds! I consider that a BIG WIN!

Cathy says
Can this be prepped and frozen for later instant pot use? I'm trying to put together meals that can be made quickly later on.
Bowl Me Over says
Sure Cathy, you could prep the ingredients and freeze. Just don't add the pasta, until you're ready to cook. Along these lines, it does freeze great. That's another great option as well. Enjoy!
