This was a tough one. Choosing the Top 15 Instant Pot Soups from my published soup recipes. I say this a lot, I’m obsessed with soups, stews, chowders, and all of that soul soothing comfort in a bowl. I love making pressure cooker soup recipes because they are usually done much faster, and extracting the goodness and flavors from the ingredients takes less time, too.

    Is there any soup recipe without onions in it? Or, can you leave out the onion and not corrupt the taste very much?

    1. Sandy says:

      You can make just about anything without onion. It’s an aromatic. You could add a bay leaf, or your favorite fresh herbs to add some of that flavor back in.
