Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 3 carrots cut into half moons
  • 2 celery stalk chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves chopped
  • 18 oz frozen meatballs
  • 3/4 cups couscous
  • 64 oz chicken broth
  • 5 oz spinach

Instructions

  • Add olive oil to the Instant Pot and press “saute” and set it for 5 minutes. Allow 1 minute for the oil to warm, then add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic and saute for 3-4 minutes.
  • Next, add the meatballs, couscous and chicken broth. Close the lid, ensuring the knob on top is in the “seal” position. Pressure cook the soup for 5 minutes, then natural release the pressure for 15 minutes before manually releasing any remaining pressure.
  • Add the spinach to the pot, then set the lid gently on top and allow the spinach to “steam” for 2-3 minutes. Remove the lid, then stir to combine. Enjoy!

Notes

*Using frozen meatballs makes this recipe WAY easier and faster! You can use homemade if you prefer though (my baked chicken meatballs would be a good choice!)
*Calories are per one serving and are an estimation.
