This is my mother's easy soda bread recipe. She makes it several times a week for some function or another. My sister loves this so much she has to control herself or she would eat a whole one with a stick of butter! I usually only make this easy soda bread for events that my mother can't come to. Slice into wedges, butter, and enjoy!

Instant Pot Cabbage and Beef Soup
This vegetable beef soup with cabbage is a great Instant Pot recipe for cleaning out veggies from your fridge. In my recipes, I use whatever ingredients happen to be in my fridge, but you can easily substitute and add cauliflower, celery, zucchini, etc. Make sure you have at least a 6-quart pressure cooker.
