I made this yesterday in my instantpot (potato soup).

I added 3 tablespoons of butter, also added shredded carrots & celery and for the chicken stock I used Better Than Bouillon Roasted Chicken Base.

I used to use my dad's recipe (depression era) which is pretty tasty, but this recipe is rockin!

1. Mmmm

I made some too just last night. I was trying to remember how my dad made his, so good and very plain. Failed. I have not tried soup in my Ninja but everything else I have tried in it worked really well. I will try this next.

3. I don't know how I ever lived without my instantpot.

I love it!

You won't be disappointed.

[MuseRider]

4. I know, it is SO helpful!

We love it for Indian food. Best Tikka Masala I have ever had and so easy. We eat it far too often.

[William769]

6. I have never tried Indian food

I will have to look up some recipes. Thanks!

[MuseRider]

8. Try this one

from Savory Tooth https://www.savorytooth.com/instant-pot-chicken-tikka-masala/

My son is staying with us since he has work here but not where he usually lives. He would eat this every day if I made it. I double the recipe every time and it is gone the next day.

10. Thank you for the link.

We cooks must stick together.

[MuseRider]

11. So easy, so tasty!

You can find the recipe also done with a slow cooker.

My mouth is watering. I need more Garam Masala before I can make this again. We have gone through 2 jars since March! (canning jars, I keep larger amounts of spices in canning jars)

[William769]

12. I forgot to mention above

Dinner this evening will be pot roast made in the intsa pot. A classic but oh so good.

[MuseRider]

13. I do not cook much meat

because I rarely eat it. I often will eat the tikka masala without the chicken. I bet a pot roast in the insta pot would be absolutely perfect.

14. Christmas 2019 I fixed a pot roast in my instant pot.

I added half a bottle of flat uinness beer. It rocked!

[William769]

15. I was raised on meat & potato's and I could never break from that

Although I do eat a lot more vegetables these days.

16. Indian food is a complete revelation.

It's not necessarily hot, either, unless you want it to be. It's an ancient cuisine, and the flavors are put together ALSO because they help digest! I've just discovered lentil (and all sorts of other bean and grain, non-gluten ) crackers, flatbreads, chips -- omg.

BTW there's an Indian instant pot cookbook.

[William769]

17. Thank you for the information.

2. You are making me hungry.

Good soup in a NE winter is the best.

Thanks, Bill. Going to try it.

[William769]

5. What you don't think we don't have winter here in South Florida?

It's going to be in the low 50's tonight!

You're welcome, you will enjoy it.

7. i have never used an insta pot. could do this in a crockpot instead ???

[William769]

9. I don't think so. BTW the insta pot is also a crock pot. :)

Stovetop would be fine though.
