A piping hot bowl of freshly made homemade soup on a cold night is a luxury. Soups are a simple yet delectable concoction of vegetables and spices. A simple spice like pepper or a veggie like tomato can do wonders to a steaming soup.

Here is my version of Carrot-Cilantro Soup. The below is an Instant pot recipe, but you can make the same with the normal pressure cooker too!
