Instant Pot Stuffed Pepper Soup - I've taken my stove-top version of Stuffed Pepper Soup and transformed it into an easy one pot meal made in the Instant Pot.

I was craving a warm hearty soup this week.  Between the cooler temperatures outdoors and my non stop sinus issue, I just needed soup.

One problem.  I was sick.  I was cranky.  And I didn't want to fuss with washing a big soup pan and then another pan that I'd have to prepare the quinoa in.

That's why I decided to go Instant Pot for this.

I can toss the Instant Pot pot/liner in the dishwasher and never give it another thought.

One more problem.

I actually don't know how to cook quinoa in an Instant Pot.

Note to self:  Learn how to cook quinoa in an Instant Pot.

I was in no mood for researching and trial and error, so I looked around and saw that I had some brown rice in the pantry.  Brown rice is healthy-ish, right?
