People are always amazed when I can pull together dinner in a jiffy. I always ingredients on hand for at least one of these creamy soups so that I'm not tempted to order take out when dinner needs to be ready in 15 minutes.

All of these recipes are similar and still have plenty room to personalize. For example, I love some balsamic drizzled in my tomato soup. I also think mushrooms add a deeper flavor since we can't have the real dairy.

Pro tip: If you're really strapped for time, perhaps you have an electric kettle that can boil water quickly? It will actually be faster than the Instant Pot heating the water itself.

I hope these soups make you feel successful in the kitchen!
