Using just a handful of ingredients, the pressure cooker helps bring out the natural sweetness of the chicken, onions, and napa cabbage while creating a rich and flavorful broth. The red dates and gouji berries add a gentle sweetness that makes the soup feel extra cozy and nourishing.

The best part? Everything goes into one pot.

If you have carrots at home, definitely add them in they make the soup naturally sweeter and even more flavorful. I didn't add them because i didn't manage to buy them :(
