Easy Vegetable Soup (in the Instant Pot!)
Vegetable soup is one of my favorite soup recipes to make throughout the year, but especially in the Fall and Winter months. It’s packed with nutritious ingredients, fills you up, and warms you from the inside out.
Traditionally made in a large pot on the stove, vegetable soup has always been simple to make, but I just upped the ante by cracking the code on perfect Instant Pot Vegetable Soup! Now you can get that simmered-all-day taste without having to stand over your hot stove all day by making it in less than 20 minutes in your pressure cooker.
Serve with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or thyme and some biscuits or thick, crusty bread to sop up that delicious broth. Enjoy!
Key Ingredients
You need just a few fresh veggies and pantry staples to make this Instant Pot Vegetable Soup at home, including: extra virgin olive oil, an onion (white, yellow, or sweet), carrots, celery, garlic, russet potatoes (baby red or yellows would also work), a can of fire-roasted tomatoes, bay leaves, chicken broth (low-sodium is preferable), Italian seasoning, fresh or dried parsley, peas, and corn (both can be fresh or frozen).
Garnish with some chopped fresh herbs and some Parmesan cheese, if desired.
How To Make Vegetable Soup in the Instant Pot
- Prep Your Instant Pot: Add the olive oil to the Instant Pot, and set to the SAUTE option.
- Cook the Veggies: Add the chopped onions, carrots and celery and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables start to soften. Turn off the Instant Pot and add in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Next pour in the fire roasted tomatoes, potatoes, bay leaves, chicken broth and Italian seasoning. Stir then cover the Instant Pot and set to pressure cook on HIGH for 5 minutes. Allow the steam to naturally release then discard the bay leaves. Stir in the peas and corn and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately with parmesan cheese and crusty bread for dipping!
