Recipe Note

This is a super-easy 'dump' soup for cold evenings. Adjust seasonings based on your preferred flavor profile. We love garlic and cumin, but our children prefer mild heat. This recipe is for a 3-quart instant pot. Adjust if you have a larger pressure cooker. Really good served as-is, but exceptional with rice.
