Instant Pot Sweet Potato Tortilla Soup. I love a quick and easy family meal. Especially for the middle of the week. If it gets some veggies into my growing babies, even better. When Nate is kept late at work, and the girls had chess, and the laundry still needs to be done, and, “Mommy, I’m hungry.”
“How are you hungry, we just got home didn’t we, isn’t it…well, wow it is late. How about that?”
Savory and heart warming vegetable soup to the rescue!
It’s also in an Instant Pot, which is awesome. I love my Instant Pot! They are so easy to use and make wonderful meals that require so little hands on time. I truly wish they had these things back when my twins were little; this would have saved me from so much stress with late dinners and baby food making sessions. I believe in the next few years, an Instant Pot will be as familiar as a microwave, oven, and stove in every kitchen. I could go on and on about how much I love my Instant Pot, but that’s not why we’re here. It’s all about the soup.
And I love soup. I’ve said that before right? So, naturally this sweet potato tortilla soup recipe became a quick favorite. Also, it is lower GI (thanks to the awesome and seemingly magical sweet potato) AND it’s vegetarian, so it’s suuuuper healthy and yummy! To round the whole thing out, we add some extra protein by pairing with a rotisserie chicken and, boom, your Wednesday night dinner just became a cinch.
