Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut
  • 1 cup chopped cabbage
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, with juices
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup fresh spinach (added after cooking)
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon (optional, for brightness)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the veggies:
    Set your Instant Pot to “Sauté” mode. Add olive oil, then sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add vegetables:
    Stir in carrots, celery, bell pepper, zucchini, green beans, and cabbage. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add broth and seasonings:
    Add diced tomatoes (with their juices), vegetable broth, water, basil, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
  4. Pressure cook:
    Secure the lid and set the valve to “Sealing.” Select the “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” button and cook on High Pressure for 5 minutes.
  5. Quick release:
    Once cooking is complete, carefully do a quick release of the pressure. Open the lid when safe.
  6. Finish and serve:
    Stir in fresh spinach until wilted. Adjust seasoning if needed. Add a squeeze of lemon juice for extra brightness, if desired.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy your healthy bowl of soup!
