instant pot – Annie DeMoranville

Revisiting this recipe because it’s been ridiculously cold this week and I’ve about had it with ducks being inside and puppies crazed because they aren’t getting enough outdoor time. So this and French Bread are all that’s holding me together.

From 2020:

In my quest to update some of my older recipes for Instant Pot style cooking, here is one of my favorites. I love being able to set this up and an hour and a half later have a perfectly cooked pot roast – tender and flavorful – along with all the sides.

Sunday Pot Roast On A Weeknight

4 lbs Pot Roast (chuck roast)
¼ cup good whiskey (or red wine)
¼ cup beef broth or water (more if needed)
1 tsp rosemary
2 bay leaves (remove before serving)
½ tsp salt & pepper
1 large onion, quartered
6 medium potatoes, quartered
1 lb bag baby carrots

slow-cooker or Instant Pot

Cool weather has settled in and I’ve had a pot of soup on most days. Today I felt like some simple, quick chicken noodle.

Easy Chicken Noodle Soup

8 cups water
12 oz sliced carrots (I used frozen)
2 stalks of celery, sliced
1 lb boneless chicken breast, cubed
1/2 onion, diced
2 tsp crushed garlic
2 tsp dried poultry seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
8 oz egg noodles

electric pressure cooker (instant pot, multi-pot, etc), blender

In the blender, add 4 cups water, 1 stalk of celery, and 6 oz of the carrots, blend until smooth. Add mixture to the instant pot, along with remaining water, chicken, vegetables and seasoning. Cover and cook on soup setting for 30 minutes.

Depressurize, add egg noodles, and set to saute setting, cooking uncovered for 10 minutes or until the noodles are tender. Add more salt and pepper as needed.
