It BARELY fit in mine, and I used less butternut than it called for. Next time I would halve a few of the veggie amounts and put in less liquid (because it also makes more than a family of four can eat in 2 meals).

Sure, you can omit the potatoes.

Can you omit the potatoes? Watching our carbs.

It sounds like a delicious way to change it up. Thanks for sharing Wendy!

CHANGES:
Used 2 very small sweet potatoes in place of butternut squash (because that is what I had on hand)
Used 1 can of chunk chicken instead of chicken breasts (cutting down on meat)
Used only 1 can of beans. I think next time it would be nice to use black beans.

This recipe is easily adaptable and easy to throw together. I served it with cheese, avocado and crushed tortilla chips. I liked the fact that it had “hidden” veggies in it.

Hi Janet – yes, all the recipes are written for a 6 quart pressure cooker. Enjoy!

Hi Pamela – a large potato weighs about 8 ounces – so you’ll want about one and one half pounds. A chicken breast weighs about 8 ounces as well – so you’ll want about one and one half pounds of chicken breasts. Although in a soup like this, being precise isn’t really necessary. Enjoy!

Hi Cheryl – I haven’t tried it, but I assume frozen sweet potato chunks should work well.
