INSTANT POT VEGGIE STEW

I'm crazy about instant pots, I've been sick for a few days, making me very rarely active, so forgive me, but now I'm better. I haven't been able to move on from a slow cooker, how not, a few days ago I only made dishes using instant pots very easy and simple !! We only need to include all the ingredients and herbs that we need and the walaaaaaa its done !!

And i finally took advantage of those crazy Black Friday Deals at Amazon and bought myself an Instant Pot!  And for my very first recipe?  I took my most popular recipe this month and converted it!  It was SO easy, and fast too.  For those of you who have Instant Pots, here is my Instant Pot Veggie Stew.
