Instant Pot Minestrone Soup

If you are wanting to start of the new year with a heathier meal, look no further than this Instant Pot minestrone soup. It’s ready to go in under 30 minutes!

You can make the base of this soup with vegetable broth or chicken broth. I used chicken broth.

The first thing you will need to do is saute some carrots, celery, red onion, and zucchini in a little olive oil. After that, you’ll add in a little garlic and saute that for 1 minute.

Next, you turn off the saute mode, Add in the broth along with some petite diced tomatoes, oregano, parsley, salt, pepper, and Fideo noodles. The Fideo noodles cook fast enough to cook with the rest of the soup.

You only need to cook this for 1 minute in the Intant Pot. Yes that is right, 1 minute to cook this Instant Pot minestrone soup! You are going to love how easy and delicious this soup is.

If you want to make this soup even healthier, you can swap the pasta for a can of beans that have been rinsed and drained.

Don’t own an Instant Pot? No problem. I have included instructions for how to make this on the stove top too.
