Instant Pot Minestrone Soup is the perfect hearty meal to warm you up. This homemade recipe tastes just like the Olive Garden version and is loaded with healthy vegetables and hearty beans.

Instant Pot Minestrone Soup

onion (, about 1/3 cup, diced)

garlic (, minced)

carrot (, about 1 cup, chopped)

celery (,

basil

oregano

thyme

tomato paste

bay leaf

carton (, 4 cups low sodium vegetable broth)

dry uncooked small shell pasta

zucchini

beans

baby spinach (or kale) (, chopped (optional))

balsamic vinegar (,

Parmesan cheese (,

parsley (, finely chopped, for garnish (optional))

Instant Pot (, I have a 6 Quart DUO-Plus)

Press the SAUTE button on your instant pot and allow to heat up for 2 minutes. Add olive oil and saute onions and garlic for about 3 minutes, or until fragrant. Add the carrots, celery, basil, oregano, thyme, tomatoes, tomato paste, bay leaf, vegetable broth, water and dry pasta.

Press Cancel then close the lid. Press the MANUAL (older models) or PRESSURE COOK (newer models) button and set on HIGH for 2 minutes. Turn the valve to SEALING.

After the soup has finished cooking for the 2 minutes and the instant pot beeps, do a quick release by turning the valve to VENTING to release the pressure.

Once the pressure is released, open the lid and add zucchini, kidney beans and cannellinibeans. Press the SAUTE button and cook for another 5-6 minutes, or until the pasta and beans are tender and cooked. Stir in spinach (kale) and allow to sit until wilted (about 1 minute). Add more water as needed if you like a thinner soup.

Season with more salt and pepper as needed and stir in balsamic vinegar (if using) and serve warm with bread and top with Parmesan cheese and garnish with parsley if desired.

FOR THE INSTANT POT VERSION:

In a large heavy bottomed pot or dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Add onions, garlic, carrots and celery and saute for about 4 minutes, or until vegetables are slightly softened.

Add basil, oregano, thyme and cook for an additional 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, bay leaf, vegetable broth, water, kidney beans and cannellini beans.

Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat and allow to simmer for 20-25 minutes.

Stir in the dry pasta and zucchini and cook for another 10 minutes, or until pasta is tender and cooked. Stir in the spinach (kale) and allow to wilt (about 1-2 minutes). Add more water as needed if you like a thinner soup.

FOR THE STOVETOP VERSION:

Slow Cooker Minestrone Soup is the perfect comforting homemade meal on a cold winter day. It&#x27;s easy to prepare and customizeable with fresh veggies and beans!

Homemade Minestrone Soup

carrots (about 1 cup, chopped)

celery (about 1 cup, chopped)

garlic (minced)

onion (about 1 cup, diced)

rosemary

tomatoes

bay leaves

carton (4 cups) low sodium vegetable broth

water (only use

Salt and black pepper (to taste)

zucchinis

small shell dried pasta**

baby spinach (chopped (optional))

balsamic vinegar (optional but adds great flavor)

Parmesan cheese (for serving)

parsley (finely chopped, for garnish (optional))

In a large 6 quart slow cooker, add carrots, celery, garlic, onions, basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, diced tomatoes, tomato paste and bay leaves. Stir in vegetable broth and water (use less if you like it less watery) into the slow cooker and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover with lid and cook on HIGH for 2-3 hours or LOW for 5-6 hours (time varies according to your slow cooker - adjust times as needed)

20-30 minutes before serving, stir in kidney beans, cannellini beans, zucchini and pasta and cook on HIGH until pasta is tender.**(SEE NOTE below on freezing)

Stir in spinach and season with more salt and pepper as needed and stir in balsamic vinegar (if using) and serve warm with bread and top with parmesan cheese and garnish with parsley if desired.

***NOTE about pasta - **If you plan to freeze this or serve the next day, leave out the pasta and cook on the side and then combine when you are ready to enjoy. This helps the pasta not get soggy.

FOR THE SLOW COOKER VERSION:

Add carrots, onion, celery, garlic, and onion and saute for about 4 minutes, or until vegetables are slightly softened.

Add basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme and cook for an additional 1 minute. Add the tomato paste, bay leaves, vegetable broth, water, zucchini and both of the beans.

** Stir in the pasta and cook for another 10 minutes, or until pasta is cooked. Stir in the spinach and allow to wilt (about 1-2 minutes). Add more water as needed if you like a thinner soup. (***you can also cook the pasta directly with the soup but this soaks up more water so you may have to add more water. Just add the pasta after simmering for 20 minutes, then bring to a boil and allow to cook for another 8-10 minutes or until pasta is tender)

Root Vegetable Soup with Barley VIDEO

A simple, sweet corn soup topped with homemade croutons. Adapted from Corn Soup with Summer Vegetables

Fresh Corn Soup with Herbed Croutons

herbs (any herbs will do)

salt and pepper (to taste)

bread

corn (husked and de-kerneled (don't discard the cobs!))

water

lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Whisk together olive oil, fresh herbs, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add cubed bread to bowl and toss to coat. Transfer to rimmed baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes or until baked through and golden brown. Set aside.

For Herbed Croutons:

Place corn cobs and thyme in a large pot or Dutch oven and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 45 minutes.

Reserve 3/4 of corn kernels; puree the rest in a blender or food processor until completely smooth.

Once broth is finished, remove cobs and thyme sprigs and pour through a fine mesh strainer into a heat-proof bowl. Set aside.

Return pot or Dutch oven to medium-high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat. Once oil has heated, add reserved corn kernels. Saute 2–3 minutes or until just beginning to brown, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium. Add corn puree and cook 3 minutes more or until thickened, stirring constantly. Add corn broth and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Ladle into bowls and top with a small handful of herbed croutons.

For Fresh Corn Soup

Flavored with nutty roasted garlic, fresh thyme and red wine, this comforting soup is a lighter take on the classic.

Creamy Mushroom and Roasted Garlic Soup

Olive oil (for drizzling)

Salt and pepper

onion (diced)

baby bella mushrooms (sliced)

shiitake mushrooms (sliced)

all-purpose flour

red wine

vegetable broth

Black Pepper

milk

Preheat the oven to 375ºF.

Cut the top end off the head of garlic, so that the bulb remains intact and the cloves are exposed. Remove any of the papery outer loose layers of skin. Place the bulb on a piece of aluminum foil, then drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Wrap the garlic in the foil then bake until tender and the cloves are golden brown, about 50 minutes. Once the bulb is cool enough to handle, squeeze the cloves out of the peel, then use a fork to mash the soft cloves into a paste.

Roast the garlic:

Add the olive oil to a large stockpot or Dutch oven set over medium heat. When hot, add the onion and cook until it starts to soften, about 2 minutes. Add all the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and the mushrooms have released most of their juices, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly pour in the red wine, stirring the entire time. Cook, stirring frequently, until most of the wine has evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes.

Stir in the broth, salt, pepper, thyme and the mashed roasted garlic. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a simmer. Decrease the heat to medium-low and continue to simmer gently, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Stir in the milk. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed before serving.

carrots

celery (chopped)

spinach

Salt and black pepper

Red Pepper flakes

Parmesan cheese (optional,

Sauté Aromatics: Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large pot, soup pot, or dutch oven pot. Add the chopped onion, shallot, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften.

Add Garlic and Herbs: Add the minced garlic, dried rosemary, dried thyme, and bay leaf to the pot. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.

Add Beans and Broth: Add the drained and rinsed white beans to the pot. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Blend a Portion of the Soup: Carefully transfer 2 cups of the soup to a blender (careful not to get the bay leaf). Blend until smooth and creamy.

Combine Blended and Whole Soup: Pour the blended soup back into the pot with the remaining soup. Stir to combine, creating a creamy base while maintaining some texture from the whole beans and vegetables.

Season and Add Greens: Remove the bay leaf and season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Add the chopped fresh spinach or kale to the pot. Let it simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes until the greens are wilted and tender.

Serve: Ladle the big pot of creamy Tuscan White Bean Soup into bowls. If desired, sprinkle grated parmigiano cheese and red pepper flakes on top for added flavor.

Married to a Sicilian for a very long time and he absolutely loved the soup. It is easy, comforting delicious and we’ve been eating it for lunch and dinner. I must try.❤️

What a glorious, cozy dish! Other than adding some chicken to up the protein, I didn’t change a thing!! The creaminess is perfection, especially with a big hunk of crusty bread!!

I made this numerous times this winter and it’s fabulous. Soup is my favorite food and this one does not disappoint.! Everyone loves it and the leftovers are even better.

I've made this many times and it has never disappointed. So healthy and delicious, we love the leftovers too for lunch. Don't leave out the parmesan regiono, it puts it over the top. (and my friend's homemade sourdough might help too). Thanks for the recipe, I dont change a thing

Quick and easy preparation. So tasty and healthy

This is the ABSOLUTE BEST soup I have ever had !!! So hearty and healthy and simply DELICIOUS ! I have made this soup several times and I’m eating it as i am typing now 👌🏻. It’s a must make !!

Thank you, Elena for this delicious recipe! I made it for dinner yesterday and it was so good! It's a bit chilly here in Toronto, Ontario so the soup warmed us up!! Grazie mille!! 💕

If I add a can of diced tomatoes, do i reduce broth?

If I add diced tomatoes do I reduce broth at all?
