Step 1

Add all prepared vegetables to Instant Pot.* (Stove top instructions below.) I like my vegetable soup chunky, so my vegetables are not chopped small.  If you prefer, you can chop your vegetables.

Step 2

Add spices and lemon juice.  Add vegetable broth, making sure that your liquid does not go over the maximum line in the inner pot.

Step 3

Set Instant Pot for 8 minutes to pressure cook.  After cooking is complete, let pressure release naturally NR for 10 minutes.  Release pressure and remove lid when valve goes down.

Step 4

Transfer soup to large serving bowl and dish out into individual serving bowls.  Garnish with parsley and pomegranate seeds.
