KETO INSTANT POT® SOUP (LOW CARB)
Just a recipe I threw together while entertaining my 6-month-old on a soccer night for my older kiddos when we had limited time. This is an alternative to fast food on busy hectic nights. I prechopped my veggies during nap time, so all I had to do was add them to the Instant Pot®! Garnish with green onions, Cheddar cheese, and bacon.

LOW SODIUM HOT & SOUR SOUP
Most hot & sour soups that I've had are neither hot nor sour. This one is both. As an added bonus, I replace the usual soy sauce with Chinkiang vinegar, which dramatically lowers the sodium content. Scale back on the peppers to make it less hot and reduce the rice vinegar if you want it less sour.

Steps:
- Cut chicken breast into uniform, thin strips. Pan cook until the bottom changes color from pink to pale tan color, then flip the pieces over. When there is no sign of pink color, remove from pan and set aside. IMPORTANT: don't cook as much as you'd cook a chicken breast you might eat by itself: heating the soup will continue to cook the chicken, resulting in tough, overcooked chicken in your soup.
- Dissolve tamarind paste by heating with an ounce of the chicken stock. (microwave is a good way to do this). Remove any seeds from melted paste, since they're inedible.
- Bring stock to boil. Add tamarind/stock mixture, Chinkiang vinegar, pepper, chili pepper, fenugreek, cardamom, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and spinach; SAVE LIQUID FROM BAMBOO SHOOTS. Stir. Let cook for 3 minutes.
- While cooking, in separate bowl combine cornstarch or flour and liquid from the previous step to make a slurry. Add slurry a little at a time and stir until thick (all slurry may not be necessary, so add as much as necessary for desired thickness).
- Add eggs while stirring and cook for 30 seconds or until eggs are done. Add green onions and chicken.
- Cut tofu into strips that are about 1/4" x 1/4" x however thick the tofu brick is.
- Remove from heat. Add rice vinegar and tofu and blend thoroughly.
- Serve with crispy fried won tons if desired.

Steps:
- Cook chicken strips until they have an internal temperature of 170 degrees F (using a meat thermometer to test). Set aside.

- Dissolve tamarind paste by heating with an ounce of the chicken stock. (microwave is a good way to do this). Remove any seeds from melted paste, since they're inedible.
