3 healthy instant pot recipes infused with cannabis

The great thing about technology is how much it has advanced our ability in the kitchen, and with an Instant Pot, it can be easy to learn how to make edibles. All you’ll really need is some good instant pot recipes that you already love, and anything can become a cannabis-infused good with the addition of the right base.

Here, you will find three easy and healthy Instant Pot recipes that you can make with cannabis oil. In some cases, using cannabutter as an alternative may work, but it is important to remember that butter solidifies as it cools, so it may ultimately impact the texture of the dish. It is also essential to point out that the doses recommended here are for experienced consumers, so if you are brand new to edibles or have a low tolerance to THC or CBD, you may need to cut the amount of cannabis oil in half for a more enjoyable result.

1. Chicken noodle soup

The most delicious chicken noodle soup always begins with the natural goodness of the fats and oils that are in the bones. For this recipe, you can either make your own chicken broth, or utilize the convenience of a store-bought alternative, but homemade will always be tastier.

Ingredients

• 3 pounds of chicken (shredded)
• 5 ounces of noodles (any kind)
• 4 cups of chicken broth
• 4 cups of water
• 2 celery stalks (chopped)

• 1 cooking onion (diced)
• 2 tablespoons of salt-free butter
• 2 tablespoons of cannabis olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of oregano
• 1 tablespoon of parsley
• 1 teaspoon of thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Set the Instant Pot to sauté, add butter and wait for it to melt.

6. Once the steam releases, turn off the Instant Pot and enjoy your delicious homemade edibles soup.
