Okay I guess I can take a small break from baked goods to share this amazing soup recipe with you all!! It has Italian Wedding Soup vibes but lightened up using turkey meatballs and rice. It is so easy to make thanks to the Instant Pot which is so incredibly needed these days! I am almost 37 weeks pregnant so meals like this are saving me. I also learned that Ruthie loves soup after making this! I made her a bowl and first she grabbed the meatballs with her hands and ate them, then used her spoon to slurp up the broth, saying “Mama I love soup!” in between each slurp. Anytime I can get her to try and like something new is a win! She is a typical toddler and would prefer chicken nuggets or quesadillas for most meals so I love when this happens. This soup is getting me very excited to start making even more soup recipes because they are delicious, cozy and easy to freeze for when baby comes!

Made this recipe tonight and it was amazing. My husband is a cowboy meat and potatoes guy and doesn’t do “healthy” very often but even he loved It. It was a quick week night meal and will be making again!
Best compliment ever! So glad everyone enjoyed it!
This soup was delicious! We used wild rice also and loved the flavor!! We did have difficulty with cooking the meatballs in the instant pot…they were sticking and some fell apart when we tried to flip them. We used the oil as listed in the recipe. Any meatball tips for the IP? Thanks so much! Two thumbs up…will definitely make again!
If your IP doesn’t have a saute option you might have to make them on the stove top
What a tasty soup! It’s also simple to put together and I love that everything is done in the instant pot.
