This soup looks so delicious, very similar to a dish my abuela used to make for me when I was little.
I've never heard of this soup, but I love the wonderful flavor combination. And it looks incredibly simple to make
I can't get enough of soup, are you the same way? I have been meaning to make Caldo for a while so I just saved this for later. Thanks for sharing!
A classical soup prepared so easily in an instant pot, what more does one want! Looks fantastic and so very comforting. 🙂
I've never had this soup before. It sounds so warm and comforting. We just got an instant pot last month and we're loving it! I love the pieces of corn that are in this soup.
I love all of the fresh flavors that went into this and the presentation is gorgeous!
Really pretty photos...and this soup looks fantastic!

This soup looks amazing and the flavors sound so delicious! I'm not on the instant pot craze yet, but would definitely work in a Dutch oven.
