Notes
- To amp up the flavor even more, slice 3 pieces of bacon into matchsticks. Before you start cooking, turn the Instant Pot to saute. Add the bacon and cook until mostly cooked. Add diced onion and turn off the Instant Pot. Stir and let cook with residual heat for 2-3 minutes. Then start with step 1, omitting the onions you already sauteed.
- To make this vegetarian, swap out the chicken stock for vegetable stock and enjoy!
