How to make Instant Pot Minestrone Soup

When the oil is hot, add diced onions and celery. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until they are translucent and softened.

Add minced garlic and cook for another minute, then press the “CANCEL” button.

Add diced tomatoes, carrots, zucchini, bay leaves, vegetable broth, water, shell pasta, kidney beans, and cannellini beans. Stir and close the lid. Make sure that the venting knob is set to “SEAL”.

Cook for 5 minutes on “HIGH” pressure, then do a quick pressure release.

After the pressure is released, open the lid and stir the soup.

Press again the “SAUTE” button and bring the soup to boil. Add chopped kale and green beans. Stir and let it cook for another 5 minutes.

Taste the soup and add more salt if needed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

After you cook the soup and cool it off, you can put it in an air tight container and refrigerate for 3-4 days.

Can you freeze Minestrone Soup?

Yes! But here is the thing. If you know you will freeze the soup, don’t add pasta to it, it won’t hold up in the freezer. Instead, cook the pasta separately and add it to the soup when you decide to reheat it later.
