Tara’s Tips For Perfect Instant Pot Quinoa Vegetable Soup
- You MUST rinse quinoa before cooking + eating! Rinsing it washes away the coating called saponin. If you don’t rinse it … it will taste like soap and you will never eat it again. Use a fine mesh strainer and run it under cold water for a minute. It is easy + worth it!
