Bone broth is a nutrient-dense superfood made from meat bones. It's soothing and easy on the digestion, with a ton of health benefits to drink in. An Instant Pot is a brand-name pressure cooker that gives new meaning to the term "set it and forget it." Forget needing to constantly monitor a simmering pot of bone broth for up to 24 hours! Press a few buttons and let the Instant Pot take over from there. And with that broth you made so easily, you can then make hundreds of classic and new soups, chilis, stews, drinks, and main dishes using the Instant Pot. Ready to put the power of the Pot and ingenious bone broth recipes to work for you? The Bone Broth Miracle Diet Instant Pot Cookbook has just what you need.

Store-bought salsa not only makes this a super-easy soup to put together, but you can also instantly adjust the heat by purchasing mild, medium, or hot salsa. This recipe doesn't include beans, but you can add a 15-ounce can of drained and rinsed black beans before you lock the lid, if you like. Top each bowl with a dollop of sour cream and a slice of lime.
