    Quick, easy and very good. You may get a burn notice because it is thick and the gnocchi sinks to the bottom, but it will come up to pressure first and with a time of zero minutes it is done before the burn impacts anything.

    I make a variation of this soup. I add the flour and half&half after a npr. The carrots, celery, onion and garlic i saute first. I cook it with the soup function for 15mins. Just like the Olive Gardens famous soup.

    Hi TumeysKat,

    The cooking time is set to 0 minutes but it will still need time to come to pressure; which is not included in the ) minute cook time.

    Made this for dinner tonight. Turned out great! I would change 2 cups chicken broth to adding another 2 after it comes to pressure so its more soupy instead of stewy.

    Wonderful recipe andmy instant pot reported burn before the pressure had built up. Will make soup again only in a regulare pot not the instant pot

    Used 2 14.5 cans of broth when it called for 2 cups. Did not come out thick at all. Better tasting then at a certain italian resturant.
