When your family is hungry and you are looking for a warm bowl of comforting soup that’ll fill everyone up, this is one that you can put together in a hurry.
The spinach is a nice, colorful addition to the creamy and comforting potatoes – serve it with some crusty bread and you have something the whole family will love.
Although it’s fall where we are in Arizona, the weather is still pretty hot – as much as we try to keep the cooking down to a minimum, it’s not always too easy. We love this recipe because it’s incredibly easy to put together and it cooks up quickly in our Instant Pot.
Do you have an Instant Pot? We love ours!
The soup combines a rich chicken stock with cream to make it incredibly flavorful. We dump off the first cup of our raw milk to sub as cream in our soups with the added benefit of all the good stuff raw milk has.
Heavy cream can get to be a bit fatty, so feel free to sub out with half and half or full fat coconut milk instead.
