I am here for you. Here are 10 of my favourite instant pot recipes.<\/p>\n<p>We\u00a0have had an instant pot for a few years, and at first, I was totally scared of pressure cookers, but the instant pot made it easy and fun. Having one helped us make food that was deeply satisfying and flavourful with a quarter of the time or effort (or without much of the advanced planning required for using a slowcooker.)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m especially keen on the more soupy\/stew-y type meals, but you&#8217;re not limited to that with the instant pot or other pressure cookers, there are a wide variety of recipes to choose from.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Vegan Richa&#8217;s &#8211; Lasagna Soup<\/h2>\n<p>I could just make a list of all of my favourite Vegan Richa recipes for the instant pot, but that would be silly because I haven&#8217;t had one I didn&#8217;t like. They&#8217;re always amazing, and every single one is full of flavour and with varying levels of ease. You can also check out her own list of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veganricha.com\/2017\/07\/20-vegan-instant-pot-recipes.html\">20 Vegan instant pot recipes.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This lasagna soup is something we go back to often. It&#8217;s super easy, fast, and doesn&#8217;t take much planning or work. It is one of the best things to just throw in the pot, and get on with your evening, but it&#8217;s also great for any level of advance meal planning too.<\/p>\n<p>Be vigilant about getting this off pressure when the time is up though &#8211; the noodles may not survive it!<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.veganricha.com\/2018\/02\/instant-pot-lasagna-soup-vegan.html<\/p>\n<h2>2. Kitchen Treaty&#8217;s &#8211; Simple Chili Recipe<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;ve made this a few times with positive reviews. It&#8217;s easy, and straightforward and perfect anytime of the year, but especially during some of the colder months.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.kitchentreaty.com\/simple-instant-pot-vegan-black-bean-chili\/<\/p>\n<h2>3. Cotter Crunch&#8217;s Lentil Gumbo<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been lucky enough to enjoy several different bowls of vegan gumbo in New Orleans, and I&#8217;m always looking for that hearty thick delicious flavour. I like that this recipe doesn&#8217;t need any packaged meat analogues to be tasty, but if you were looking for a sausage to add, the tofurky andouille fits right in.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"BNWtmIFCnE\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cottercrunch.com\/instant-pot-lentil-gumbo-vegan\/\">Favorite Instant Pot Gumbo {Vegetarian}<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Favorite Instant Pot Gumbo {Vegetarian}&#8221; &#8212; Cotter Crunch\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cottercrunch.com\/instant-pot-lentil-gumbo-vegan\/embed\/#?secret=BNWtmIFCnE\" data-secret=\"BNWtmIFCnE\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>4. My Food Story&#8217;s Chana Masala<\/h2>\n<p>https:\/\/myfoodstory.com\/pressure-cooker-chana-masala-recipe\/<\/p>\n<h2>5. Hip Pressure Cooking &#8211; Perfect Oatmeal<\/h2>\n<p>Oatmeal is boring right? Why would you need help with that?<\/p>\n<p>No. Instant pot oatmeal is awesome. You can do steel cut oats in a fraction of the time, you don&#8217;t have to babysit the oats at the stove, you can throw them in the instant pot, and just have a shower, or drink coffee and relax with your family. It&#8217;s a major time saver for us, and I&#8217;m a big fan.<\/p>\n<p>So how do you do oats in the instant pot?

Monkey and Me Kitchen Adventures &#8211; Vegan Beef Stew<\/h2>\n<p>There is something about this season, but I am obsessed with deep brown delicious beefy stews, and this one does it for me. Hope you love it too.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/monkeyandmekitchenadventures.com\/instant-pot-vegan-beef-stew\/<\/p>\n<h2>7. Evolving Table &#8211; Instant Pot Potato Corn Chowder<\/h2>\n<p>Chowda? Chowder? Chowdair? That&#8217;s you choice, but this chowder is great and flavourful, and perfect for a weeknight. I&#8217;d also recommend using an immersion blender for a couple of quick pulses to give it a thicker broth vs. the thickener suggestion. I also really like adding some 1\/2-1cup of cooked chickpeas to this to add a bit more protein to the mix.
