Well hello out there!! I’m finally writing you from my favorite spot – my couch. I’m not in an airplane or in an Airbnb or at a coffee shop on the other side of the world. I’m simply sipping on my Nespresso coffee with my little panda puppy dog in my lap. It’s my favorite way to start the morning. Except when he’s farting. Like he just did. That’s not part of my favorite morning routine. After being gone for 10 days, it feels so nice to be back home to home cooked meals, my favorite CrossFit workouts, and Jackson. I absolutely adore traveling, but I really am a homebody.

PaleOMG Instant Pot Taco Soup

It felt REAL WEIRD coming back to normal life yesterday. For one, I forgot how to drive. Not only do they drive on the other side of the road in New Zealand, but we had the tiniest car ever imaginable. And it felt even tinier when we had 4 people in it and 8 suitcases. It was a bit of an issue. So most of the time, I just let the dudes drive. Then immediately almost hit a car coming out of the driveway yesterday. I also forgot how to email. I was already really terrible at emailing, but I didn’t even glance at my email while I was on vacation. And now it’s overrun with spam then really important emails, both of which I’m still ignoring. It’s a problem. Now something Jackson forgot how to do is sleep in his own bed. My SIL watched him at our house while we were gone and he became quite accustomed to sleeping in bed with her. So I am in the midst of breaking that habit (sadly, my husband isn’t down with sleeping with a dog butthole in his face…weird eh?) while trying to remember how to live at home again. It’s all quite challenging. Not really, but I like whining anyways.

I’m going to do a full New Zealand recap on the blog next week, but until then, let’s eat soup. When we left for New Zealand, it was snowing in Colorado and our flight was delayed. When we landed in New Zealand, it was snowing and our flight was rerouted. So it’s safe to say it’s been cold everywhere we’ve been to lately. Which means I’m craving soup like a MOFO. And now that I’m back home, I have big plans to make this soup, my Instant Pot Creamy Gnocchi Soup, my Instant Pot Creamy Tomato Pesto Soup and my Mexican Pumpkin Soup. Have you tried these soups yet? If you’re a soup freak like me and you’re sick of being cold, highly recommend these. Just trust me, ok?!

    This looks SO GOOD! How many servings per recipe? Trying to decide if I need to make two batches to last my husband and I for lunches through next week.

    1. Robin says:

      Recipe says 4-5

    2. juli says:

      it should serve about 4-5!

  2. Bethany says:

    I just made your Mexican pumpkin soup again the other night. It’s probably our favorite PaleOMG recipe!! It’s so damn delicious, though I cheat and always used canned pumpkin instead. What can I say, I’m a lazy MOFO ???? I’m with you – bring on the soup!!

    1. juli says:

      that’s definitely one of my favorites too!!

  3. Karen says:

    DAYYYYUM. How delicious does this look? And soup in 15 minutes or so? YES.

    1. juli says:

      hope you love the recipe Karen!

  4. Amy says:

    For those of use who haven’t yet taken the plunge on an Instant Pot, do you have an alteration on this recipe to either do it stove-top or in a crockpot? It looks soooo good, but I am still mulling over buying an Instant Pot!

    1. juli says:

      i haven’t made it in the crockpot, but i’m sure it can just sit for 6 hours on high, i just can’t say for sure since i haven’t tested it that way

  5. Victoria says:

    Really great recipe! I made it tonight in no time and just finished a bowl. I tried to rate it (5 stars, duh) but wasn’t able to for some reason. FYI, I (and I assume others as well) am a big big fan of recipes that take no time to make but that you can eat all week. I know this may be a tall order, but…more please! 😀

    1. juli says:

      i’m definitely getting that star system checked and fixed. thanks for the heads up! and so glad you liked this recipe!

  6. Massachuseats says:

    Another great recipe, thank you!

    For anyone without an IP, I made mine on the stove top – browned the meat, added the onion/peppers/taco seasoning and sauteed a few minutes, then dumped in the rest of the ingredients and simmered it.

    1. juli says:

      glad you liked it!

  7. Bre says:

    Can this be made in a 6qt?

    1. juli says:

      yes, it should still work in that size

  8. marissa says:

    can you make this with ground turkey instead of ground beef?






    1. juli says:

      for sure! it will taste a tad different, but that’s totally fine!
