Notes

Shake the can of coconut milk before adding to soup. Make sure soup is not boiling when coconut milk is added to prevent curdling.
If you're not familiar with the Instant Pot, read the instruction manual that came with the instant pot to learn where the pressure valve is, where the float valve is, and where the 'SEALING AND VENTING' settings are. Make sure you read the section about doing a 'quick release' of pressure for the Instant Pot.
