Instant Pot Not Red Beans Not Rice

Keto / Low Carb / Instant Pot / Gluten Free / Easy / Medium Spice

I am a sucker for warm comforting spice and this serves that up. This dish has a nice warm heat that hits the spot on a cold day. It is made with black soy beans but if you avoid soy, feel free to omit them. Nothing better than a hearty and EASY meal for dinner! This recipe is written for the instant pot but can easily be accomplished on the stovetop or in a crock pot.
