Instant Pot Turkey Meatball and Ditalini Soup
This hearty soup is loaded with mini turkey meatball, zucchini, vegetables and ditalini pasta. I love to add a Parmesan cheese rind to my soup, my secret for extra flavor but it’s totally optional!

  7. Add the chicken broth, cover and cook high pressure 15 minutes.
