The secret weapon of soup making this season is our newly purchased Instant Pot Rio 7.5 quart. My wife used it the first time a couple weeks ago to make quick work of a pot roast and vegetables. This will be the second use.

I’m soaking beans and chopping carrots, celery, and onions. It must be Winter and time to make soup again! First soup of the season.

My wife made homemade ham and bean soup today based on a "16 bean soup starter" bag of dry beans. So good.

This batch had 2 onions and about 5 celery stalks diced very fine such that they disappear in the broth — it's a way of sneaking some extra fiber into our diet. Other fiber sources include the beans, tomatoes, and carrots.
