Gluten-free Instant Pot Porcupine Meatball Soup Recipe

We'd love it if you shared it!

Porcupine meatballs are great. For those unfamiliar, porcupine meatballs have rice in them. The rice really holds the flavor, and gives the meatballs a unique texture. I’ve been making them for a while now, and have always found that the meatballs can take on an almost soup or stew like chunky consistency. And I thought, why not make it one! And that’s how  Instant Pot Porcupine Meatball Soup was born. There’s very little broth in this soup as I make it. (I probably ought to have called it a stew, in fact.) You can have more broth by increasing the amount that you use. The soup will be your new favorite comfort food. It is thick and hearty. It’s simple to make and is gluten-free if made according to the instructions below. Here’s how I make it.
