Reviewer Angie Mahoney says, "By 'spicy,' it means you get warmth from the ginger and curry powder, but it's hard to pinpoint exactly what is making it so delicious. I'd like to add more squash or a potato next time to make it thicker, but this is seriously addictive and so tasty. Made on a snowy day = perfect savory sip." Need we say more?

This keto-friendly recipe is ready in under an hour for a fast, weeknight dinner anytime. Reviewer mattandandysmom says, "This is a very easy and tasty base soup recipe. You could easily turn this into a ham and potato soup, broccoli cheddar, or a creamy veg. The possibilities are endless. I followed this recipe exactly. However, I did use my immersion hand blender after the pressure cooking part was done, before I added the cheese, half n half, and bacon. Excellent recipe."
