Instant Pot Weight Loss Vegetable Soup Recipe

Instant Pot Weight Loss Vegetable Soup Recipe – hearty and filling vegetable soup made in electric pressure cooker. Helps to detox and lose weight.

A big bowl of vegetable loaded soup that is delicious and good for your body is my new favorite thing to make in my Instant Pot pressure cooker. If I plan ahead and get my veggies chopped and ready, all I need to do is place it all in the IP and let it do it’s magic. You can make a batch of this soup and freeze half for later.

When it comes to diets, I never just jump in because it’s the beginning of the year or month or whatever. I try implement changes into our diet one by one. My Hubby and I are trying the vegan diet and this soup is perfect for it. Since after the holidays, I have been trying to decrease the amount of meat we eat and I switched to almond milk. I find that if I try to completely change the whole menu, it becomes overwhelming ( because I am trying to get it as perfect as possible ) and frustrating. From there, it’s easy to go back to old habits and quit the diet. Right now, when the temperatures are below freezing and my body is craving comfort food, I know I won’t be able to eat salads every day. A hot bowl of soup sounds much better!

Crunchy celery and sweet and juicy grapes, as well as slightly tarty dried cranberries pair so well with cooked and cubed chicken. This Chicken Salad with Grapes is packed with flavor and crunch.
