Easy Homemade Instant Pot Cream Of Mushroom Soup

Growing up, nothing excited me more than when my grandma used to make cream of mushroom soup. It’s still my favorite and I’m determined to make my paleo approved version just as good. The best part about this instant pot cream of mushroom soup is that it’s made with whole foods, so it’s more flavorful, but it’s also loaded with more nutrients compared to the canned soup. The mild, woody flavor of button mushrooms pairs excellently with dry white wine, so you can tell right away that there’s something special about this soup even from the first spoonful. To finish it off, I like adding a bit of cracked black pepper and biscuits for a bit of texture.
