Instant Pot Single Serving Soup

Some day I'll be embarrassed that I posted these less-than-pretty pictures, but today I just want to share this super easy and delicious recipe with you, because healthy kid-approved recipes are a premium for most of us- am I right?

My daughter had a cut in her mouth this week and didn't feel up to eating sandwiches, which is kind of a big deal because both of my kids are super insistent that lunch is the same every day, and it's a sandwich (plus other goodies, I did a post about our school lunches here).  Anyway, I thought soup would be easier for her to eat, and I was right.  

After I made it on Monday, she's asked for it every day since, and I'm happy to oblige because it's crazy easy and healthy.

Ingredients
1 cup water
1 tsp bouillon (I love this one by Orrington Farms)
small handful spiral whole wheat pasta 
3-4 cherry tomatoes
1 small carrot, diced
1 small celery stick, diced
---
about 1 Tbsp frozen peas
about 1 Tbsp frozen corn

Gadget
Instant Pot

Toss everything except the frozen stuff in the Instant Pot and set for manual 4 minutes.  I find that it comes to pressure pretty quickly, so I pack my other child's lunch while that goes.  I put the frozen veg in the bottom of her thermos so it's not boiling hot at lunch time.  This Thermos brand thermos really does hold the heat (and even though she tosses her backpack all over we haven't had any spills), so it's still nice and warm without being molten lava when she eats around 11.  I pack some animal crackers and an orange with it and she's good to go.
