Place the lid on the Instant Pot until it beeps and locks. MAKE SURE the pressure valve is set to ‘SEALING’.

Press the Manual setting and set the time to 7 minutes, and when the Instant Pot is done cooking, beeps and goes to ‘OFF’, do a quick release, and release the pressure.

When all the pressure has been released, and the float valve is down, remove the lid, and stir the soup. Serve in large soup bowls, and top with shredded Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

NOTE: If you’re not sure how to do a quick release, consult your instruction manual for directions, and to locate the pressure valve, settings, and float valve.
