One Pot Vegan Minestrone Soup

Step 1

Aromatics: Turn the Instant Pot on to the “Saute” setting and warm the oil in the pot. Add the yellow onion and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until golden. Add the garlic, celery, carrots, and italian seasoning to the pot and sauté for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant.

Step 2

Broth: Stir the tomato paste into the vegetables until evenly incorporated, then add the diced tomatoes, broth, and water; mix well.

Step 3

Cook: Add the beans, pasta, and green beans to the pot. Press “Cancel” to stop the Saute mode. Close the Instant Pot, set the valve to “Sealing”, then cook on Manual High Pressure for 5 Minutes.

Step 4

Serve: Immediately release the pressure from the Pot once the timer goes off (cover the valve with a kitchen towel to prevent splatter). Remove the lid and let the soup cool for 5 minutes, then ladle into serving bowls and top with fresh basil and dairy-free parmesan, or as desired. Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days, or can be frozen for up to two months.
