instant pot gaps diet soup and stew recipes

Let’s face it…

If you’re following the gut-healing GAPS Diet, you’re going to need lots of soup and stew recipes. You’ll probably want to know how to make homemade bone broth and maybe vegetable broth too.

Lots and lots and lots! Because GAPS is all about the healing foods that soups naturally contain — bone broth, cooked vegetables, and grass-fed meats.

Since the GAPS Diet is hard enough as it is, why not make it easier on yourself… by using your Instant Pot!

In the early GAPS Diet days, the Instant Pot hadn’t even been invented. So those of us who did the diet “back then” had slow cookers and stock pots of broth and soup going constantly.

Those days are gone! Now, the nourishing, gut-healing broths, soups, and stews that used to take hours or even days happen in minutes — saving you time, money, and sanity!

By the way…

If You’re Overwhelmed By GAPS…
