This easy fall soup recipe is amazing!
Use a conventional pot, an instant pot or a traditional pressure cooker (done in half the time). (NOTE: pressure cookers cook faster than an instant pot or conventional pot and each brand cooks differently. If your traditional pressure cooker is new to you it may take a few times trying the recipe to get it just right.)
This is one of our fall family favorites because we all LOVE a good home cooked meal, but don’t always have the time! This recipe is adapted from The Self Healing Cookbook by Kristina Turner

Create your own easy fall soup recipe
Use up all of your veggies (& other foods) that need to be eaten up before they expire.
My motto is: use what you have, buy what you need!
I had on hand: butternut squash, rotisserie chicken, onions, garlic & bone broth, use what you have!
All you need is:
- veggies (a root and a green veggie are best)
- a protein
- & a carbohydrate
- Broth (The flavor is best with a bone broth but you can easily make your own broth with bone-in meats and extra veggies or a nice veggie broth.)
This pairs well with pumpkin spice muffins or apple cake for dessert!
