We are at the tail end of winter so comforting and nutritious soup is still a must. When it’s cold you just don’t feel like doing much, especially planning out a whole dinner menu for the family. A thick stew-like hearty soup will keep everyone full with only the good stuff.

What’s great about soup is you can make a large batch and serve for several meals thereafter. Makes life so much simpler with fewer decisions you have to make with an already hectic schedule. When you’re busy it’s easy to go with fast food that isn’t healthy. Setting aside a little time to make this soup is a great meal prepping plan for the rest of the week to have a nutritious meal ready to be heated up.

This soup is Whole30 and gluten-free friendly. You can even replace white potatoes with sweet potatoes. The recipe is best suited to a 6-quart and an 8-quart Instant Pots but you could half the ingredients for a smaller batch in case you need to.
