I love my small appliances. My crockpot and my Instant Pot get lots of love. But during winter, it's really easy to fall into a soup rut. Now don't get me wrong - I love soup! But I like to make other yummy, hearty things in there too. And this Mexi Rice is the perfect base for a frugal and delicious burrito bowl. My husband really likes Chipotle bowls.

And really, as long as you have enough liquid to pressurize, and you don't overfill the thing, soup is pretty hard to mess up.
