I use enough to fill my insta pot or if you are cooking on the stove, to completely cover all ingredients

I cannot express how easy this soup is. You put EVERYTHING in your Insta Pot or large soup pot. For the Insta Pot, I set the pressure to one hour - it can be done in as little as 35 minutes but I prefer the longer cooking time. It is fine to let it warm in the pot after the cooking is finished, and only gets better the longer it warms. For the stove top version, bring the ingredients to a gentle boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1-2 hours.
Serve piping hot with warm French bread. Top with a bit of Nutritional Yeast.
