I have to say that your Zuppa Toscana is absolutely the best soup I’ve ever eaten. My family agrees! Last time I made it with sliced spicy Andouille sausage (and included the red pepper, we like spicy) and I had both kale and spinach on hand so in went those too. I had tons, so I froze it in individual containers for work lunches. It freezes really well and when I heat it up everyone asks for the recipe 🙂 Thank you so much!

Hi Kathleen – yes, it’s safe to use a multi bean mix in the pressure cooker. Here’s some tips on cooking beans https://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/pressure-cooked-beans-most-beans-cook-in-less-than-10-minutes/ Enjoy the Beef and Broccoli! After you’ve cooked a few things, you’ll see there’s nothing to be afraid of.

I just got an IP this last month but am a bit overwhelmed and afraid. I’m trying your Beef & Broccoli recipe tomorrow. My question is how do you cook bean soup in the IP — I’ve read that you must have 1 cup of liquid in the bottom to prevent burning. I bought one of those multi bean (must soak first) soups to make w/ sausage and I’m wondering if it’s safe to use in a pressure cooker (I know they expand). And how do I fix the recipe on the back to use in the pressure cooker?

HI. I want to try your recipes, but I own an older style Presto cooker, it isn’t electric. Do all your recipes translate to that so that I can start trying them? Also, I want to substitute soy or almond milk for where you have creamy soups, do you see any problems with that? Thanks!

Your recipes are wonderful. I have never used an appliance as much as I use my pressure cooker. Our family’s favorite is the Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice. I must make that twice a month or more. Thanks for all of the delicious recipes and showing me how to use my pressure cooker!

In reply to Sue Cassidy. Hi Sue - such a nice idea. The Spicy Chicken Soup freezes very well and you can adjust the spice level if you need to. When I freeze the chicken noodle soup, I freeze the noodles separately so they don't absorb all the broth or get to soft. You could also do that with the Minestrone. I like to freeze individual servings.

In reply to Barbara Schieving. Are there any of the above top 10 soups (or others) that lend themselves to freezing well? I'm stocking my parents freezer with a variety of soups as one of my Christmas gifts, so I working on my list. Thanks!

In reply to Hangry Kitchen. Definitely make it however is best for you. I have a hard time getting my family to eat kale, so spinach is what I have on hand generally. Nice tip about freezing kale. Thanks!
