So glad you liked it! It really is the best soup I've ever had! Thank you for posting a link to this other thread, it was fun to hear other peoples good results and see more favorite soup recipes!
I've tried making the French Market soup in an 8 Qt instant pot - a big failure... not enough room to be under the max fill line… And I kept getting burn messages. Had to pull everything out and just do it on the stove top. What did work out nicely was cooking the beans and the ham hock in the instant pot, a timesaver, but more dishes to wash.
