The Instant Pot is quickly becoming a buzz-worthy kitchen tool, and for good reason. It looks like a slow cooker but functions like a pressure cooker, a sauté pan, a rice cooker, and a stock pot. Basically, it can cook anything and in a fraction of the time it takes with other appliances. If slow-cooker soups [1] are your thing, you'll love these Instant Pot soups even more because most of them can be thrown together in under 30 minutes.
