Did large batch-2.2 quarts water (8.8 cups to the amount of chai mix I had by weight) and 264g Kolkata Chai mix. 80oz Oatly original. Added 6 tablespoons grated ginger (frozen).
About to cook this again, realized I hadn’t added it here yet. What I did differently last time: 1. Cooked everything in my Instant Pot instead of stove top. This includes any prep like sweating onions etc using the IP saute setting. 2. Great Northern Beans subbed in for navy. Pressure cooked to mostly done, drained, set aside before any IP saute/soup assembly. 3. Pressure cooked (“baked”) the potatoes in my IP as well, then set aside to cool. Later peeled them, smashed them, and added them directly to the soup (no dairy/other ingredients added to them). 4. No ham bone/etc on hand, I used a defrosted chunk of (precooked) spiral cut ham from my freezer. Diced it up, added it in, easy peasy. 5. Skipped the parsley because I didn’t have any on hand. I probably also freestyled some other spices/seasonings as a replacement but I don’t remember what.
Cooked this to recipe except I omitted the rosemary oil and flaky salt topping. Then I topped with pizza sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, and Parmesan and baked at 375 F for about 5 minutes. Then broiled for about 3 minutes to finish the cheese. Awesome.
