Instant Pot Hoppin' John Soup
Back in the day the term “living high on the hog” meant you were getting the choice cuts of meat from the upper portion of the pig (rib chops, tenderloin, loin chops) and were only affordable to the wealthy.  Nowadays, we all appreciate the cuts from the lower half of the pig as well (hello, bacon) and anything pork is indicative of prosperity in the New Year.
Hoppin' John is a Southern tradition for New Year's Day, but we like it whenever there's a chill in the air. Use your Instant Pot for a fast, hearty meal.
