CHAPTER 1

The Basics

Chicken Stock

Makes 6 cups

Prep time 10 minutes

Pressure time 30 minutes

Release method Natural

While it's perfectly fine to use canned chicken stock or broth in the recipes in this book, homemade stock tastes so much better, and it's surprisingly simple to make. You control both the quality of the ingredients and the amount of salt that gets added. Don't skip the important step of refrigerating the stock before freezing it. The fat will rise to the surface, so you can just skim it off.

PREP INGREDIENTS
PREP DIRECTIONS

Place all the ingredients in the multi-cooker inner pot. Add 6 cups water, being sure not to fill the pot more than two-thirds full. Cook on high pressure for 30 minutes, and then let the pressure release naturally. When cool enough to handle, strain the stock into a storage container and refrigerate until cold. Skim any fat from the surface. Portion into ½-cup or 1-cup servings and freeze.

Beef Stock

Makes 6 cups

Prep time 10 minutes

Pressure time 60 minutes

Release method Natural

Roasting the short ribs or soup bones helps make a richer, more deeply flavored beef stock. If you use soup bones, choose meaty ones. Keep an eye on the liquid level in the multi-cooker, and don't go over two-thirds full. If you need to, you can always use a little bit less water.

PREP INGREDIENTS
PREP DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Rub the ribs with the oil, season with salt and pepper, and place on a sheet pan. Transfer the sheet pan to the oven and roast for 30 minutes. Place the roasted ribs and the remaining ingredients in the multi-cooker. Add 6 cups water, being sure not to fill the pot more than two-thirds full. Cook on high pressure for 60 minutes, and then let the pressure release naturally. When cool enough to handle, strain the stock into a storage container and refrigerate until cold. Skim any fat from the surface. Portion into ½-cup or 1-cup servings and freeze.

Vegetable Stock

Makes 6 cups

Prep time 10 minutes

Pressure time 20 minutes

Release method Natural

In the absence of meat, dried mushrooms and a splash of soy sauce will help boost the savory, umami flavor in this simple vegetable stock. If you don't have or can't find parsnips, you can substitute a potato.

PREP INGREDIENTS
PREP DIRECTIONS

Place all the ingredients in the multi-cooker inner pot. Add 6 cups water, being sure not to fill the pot more than two-thirds full. Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes, and then let the pressure release naturally. When cool, strain, portion into ½cup or 1-cup servings and freeze.

CHAPTER 2

Soups

Chicken, Corn, and Rice Soup

Serves 4

Prep time 5 minutes

Pressure time 5 minutes

Release method Natural (10 minutes)

Chicken, Corn, and Rice Soup is a great way to use up leftover roasted chicken, and because it includes ingredients you're likely to have around the house, it's easy to throw together and keep in the freezer for a day when you or a family member is feeling a little under the weather. You can add in a big handful of chopped parsley at the end, or if you're in the mood for noodles, toss them in the soup after pressure cooking and let them simmer away until tender.

PREP INGREDIENTS
PREP DIRECTIONS

Combine all the prep ingredients in a 1-gallon resealable freezer bag. Squeeze out the air, label, and place in a round container to freeze into shape.

SERVING DAY DIRECTIONS

Add the chicken stock, the rice, and the contents of the package to the multi-cooker inner pot. Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, and then manually release any remaining pressure.

Tortilla Soup

Serves 4

Prep time 10 minutes

Pressure time 8 minutes

Release method Natural (10 minutes)

Tortilla Soup is like a party in a bowl: tender bites of chicken, crunchy strips of fried tortilla, and creamy avocado chunks all in a rich tomato- and cuminspiked broth. Jarred salsa is your shortcut to big flavor fast. Serve with corn chips or crushed tortilla chips, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, jalapeño slices (fresh or pickled), diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and sour cream.

PREP INGREDIENTS
PREP DIRECTIONS

Combine all the prep ingredients in a 1-gallon resealable freezer bag. Squeeze out the air, label, and place in a round container to freeze into shape.

SERVING DAY DIRECTIONS

Add the stock and the contents of the package to the multi-cooker inner pot. Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, and then manually release any remaining pressure. Serve with any or all of the suggested toppings (see headnote).

Classic Ham and Bean Soup

Serves 4 to 6

Prep time 15 minutes

Pressure time 5 minutes

Release method Natural (10 minutes)

Hearty, comforting, and delicious, Classic Ham and Bean Soup is big on flavor and easy on effort. Don't be tempted to add salt to the soup until after it's finished. You'll likely find that between the ham and the stock, it's perfectly seasoned as is. White pepper has floral, earthy notes, but if you don't have it on hand, just substitute regular black pepper.

PREP INGREDIENTS
PREP DIRECTIONS

If using the potato, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the potato and blanch for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and set aside in a single layer to cool. (A kitchen towel is useful for this task.) Add the potatoes and the remaining prep ingredients to a 1-gallon resealable freezer bag. Squeeze out the air, label, and place in a round container to freeze into shape.

SERVING DAY DIRECTIONS

Add the chicken stock and the contents of the package to the multi-cooker inner pot. Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, and then manually release any remaining pressure.

Corn Chowder

Serves 4

Prep time 10 minutes

Pressure time 5 minutes

Release method Natural (10 minutes)

Simple and satisfying, Corn Chowder has a secret ingredient: canned green chiles. While they don't add much in the way of heat, they do add tons of flavor. On cooking day, just fry up a few slices of bacon until crispy and crumble a slice on top of each bowl along with some chopped parsley or chives.

PREP INGREDIENTS
PREP DIRECTIONS

Combine all the prep ingredients in a 1-gallon resealable freezer bag. Squeeze out the air, label, and place in a round container to freeze into shape.

SERVING DAY DIRECTIONS

Add the stock and the contents of the package to the multi-cooker inner pot. Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, and then manually release any remaining pressure. Stir in the potato flakes, milk, and butter.

Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Serves 4

Prep time 10 minutes

Pressure time 5 minutes

Release method Natural (5 minutes)

Broccoli Cheddar Soup is so delicious but you might have thought it too difficult to make at home. Not so! Now you can have it whenever the craving strikes. Serve with crusty bread, or better yet, in bread bowls!

PREP INGREDIENTS
PREP DIRECTIONS

Combine all the prep ingredients in a 1-gallon resealable freezer bag. Squeeze out the air, label, and place in a round container to freeze into shape.

SERVING DAY DIRECTIONS

Add the stock and the contents of the package to the multi-cooker inner pot. Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, and then manually release any remaining pressure. Gradually stir in the cheddar cheese, butter, and heavy cream until the cheese is melted. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup.

Creamy Roasted Tomato and Basil Soup

Serves 4

Prep time 10 minutes

Pressure time 5 minutes

Release method Natural (10 minutes)

By using canned fire-roasted tomatoes, you can get a delicious roasted flavor without any of the effort. To make this soup lighter, leave out the cream and butter and just drizzle a little extra-virgin olive oil in each bowl at the end. Serve Creamy Roasted Tomato and Basil Soup with grilled cheese sandwiches, of course.

PREP INGREDIENTS
PREP DIRECTIONS

Combine all the prep ingredients in a 1-gallon resealable freezer bag. Squeeze out the air, label, and place in a round container to freeze into shape.

SERVING DAY DIRECTIONS

Add the stock and the contents of the package to the multi-cooker inner pot. Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, and then manually release any remaining pressure. Stir in the heavy cream, butter, and fresh basil.

Lentil Kale Soup

Serves 4

Prep time 15 minutes

Pressure time 7 minutes

Release method Natural (10 minutes)

Lentil Kale Soup is healthy, delicious, and hearty enough to be a meal. Even if you're not a fan of kale, you might find yourself changing your mind, as the kale turns meltingly tender in this soup. If you wish, you can also add some diced ham to the prep ingredients; just cut back on the salt. Prep tip: If you're making a number of meals at once, start your lentils at the beginning of the day, so they're cooked and cooled by the time you're assembling your bags.

PREP INGREDIENTS
PREP DIRECTIONS

Add the lentils to the multi-cooker along with enough water to cover by about 2 inches. Lock the lid and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally and drain the lentils, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water. It's okay if the lentils are still a bit firm; they'll finish cooking in the soup. Once the lentils are cool, add them, the reserved cooking water, and the remaining prep ingredients to a 1-gallon resealable freezer bag. Squeeze out the air, label, and place in a round container to freeze into shape.

SERVING DAY DIRECTIONS

Add the stock and the contents of the package to the multi-cooker inner pot. Cook on high pressure for 7 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, and then manually release any remaining pressure. Remove and discard the bay leaf. Stir in the parsley (if using) and the vinegar, and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.

Asian Chicken Noodle Soup

Serves 4 to 6

Prep time 10 minutes

Pressure time 7 minutes

Release method Natural (5 minutes)

With fragrant ginger, savory shiitakes, and crunchy fresh vegetables, this noodle soup has a lot to love. You can vary the vegetable combination depending on what you have on hand or what's in season, and you can even stir in some cubed tofu for extra protein. Look for fresh udon noodles in the refrigerated case of your supermarket. If you can only find the kind that comes with a seasoning packet, just discard the packet and use the noodles.

PREP INGREDIENTS
PREP DIRECTIONS

Combine all the prep ingredients in a 1-gallon resealable freezer bag. Squeeze out the air, label, and place in a round container to freeze into shape.

SERVING DAY DIRECTIONS

Add the stock and the contents of the package to the multi-cooker inner pot. Cook on high pressure for 7 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, and then manually release any remaining pressure. Carefully remove the mushrooms and thinly slice them. Return them to the pot along with the udon noodles and sesame oil. If desired, stir in the green beans, add the bok choy, and garnish with bean sprouts and green onion. Let stand for a few minutes until the noodles are heated through and the vegetables are slightly cooked but still crunchy.

Butternut Squash and Sage Soup

Serves 4 to 6

Prep time 10 minutes

Pressure time 8 minutes

Release method Natural (8 minutes)

Sweet butternut squash and woodsy sage make this simple soup comforting and inviting on an autumn evening. For a little crunch, garnish each bowl with a few pumpkin seeds.
