Fresh and Frozen Vegetables for the Soup

You can use any veggies you like. I used onion, celery, potato and sweet potato for the fresh ones and then also added some frozen mixed vegetables as well.

White or red potatoes work well here and I like adding sweet potatoes too for their sweetness. Talking of sweetness you can either use Vidalia onions or another sweet variety, or else go with yellow, red or white onions.

Swap the frozen mixed vegetables for more fresh ones if you want. Mushrooms, corn, cabbage, zucchini, and eggplant are all viable alternatives for this 30 minute meal. Drained, canned vegetables would work too or you could sub individual frozen vegetables in place of mixed vegetables.

Other Soup Ingredients

Garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, broth, and canned tomatoes all go into the mix. Try using fire-roasted tomatoes for a deeper flavour.

Then you also need a bay leaf. Instead of the Italian seasoning you could use basil, oregano, thyme, marjoram, and rosemary, which feature in many Italian seasoning blends. Parsley makes a nice garnish.

This can be a vegetarian or vegan soup recipe if you omit the classic Worcestershire sauce, since it contains anchovies. However, there are some vegan-friendly Worcestershire sauces available so go ahead and try one of those if you like.

You might also be wondering whether it’s possible to make this a smooth soup rather than a chunky one. The answer to that is yes! I recommend using an immersion blender. Although a food processor is another option, immersion blenders tend to give a better result since you’re working with a lot of liquid and don’t want to miss any chunks.

If you want to puree the soup in a blender, bear in mind hot soup can expand in there, blowing the lid off and making a big mess of your kitchen! You can still puree it using a blender but don’t fill the blender more than a third full and puree the soup in batches. Also, remove the center cap from the blender lid so steam can escape.

I’ve added this easy Instant Pot vegetable soup to my regular meal rotation and am having fun experimenting with it. I love the fact you can easily make it a vegetarian or vegan soup recipe and also it’s a quick 30 minute meal. If you are looking for a side dish, try a tuna sandwich or a canned chicken salad sandwich.

Easy Instant Pot Vegetable Soup

This simple 30 minute meal could be on your table tonight. Consider this easy Instant Pot vegetable soup. It's bursting with healthy fresh and frozen vegetables. Making soup in an Instant Pot or pressure cooker is tasty vegetarian or vegan soup recipe.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients 

Instructions 

  • On your instant pot, depress the ‘sauté’ button.
  • When the ‘hot’ indicator light has illuminated, add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Next add in 1 cup of sweet onion, and 1 cup of diced celery. Sauté for 2-3 minutes. Once the onions have become fragrant and translucent, add 6 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Once the sweet onions and garlic are fragrant, add 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon paprika, and 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce. Sauté the ingredients together for an additional 30 seconds. Then to deglaze the pot, use 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar. Ensure all the small bits are cleaned from the sides of the Instant Pot.
  • Once deglazed, add 4 cups of low-sodium vegetable broth, 2 cups of purified water, (1) 15 ounce can of diced tomatoes, 4 cups of diced russet potatoes, 1 ½ cups of diced sweet potatoes, and 2 cups of frozen mixed vegetables. Stir with a wooden spoon to combine all the ingredients, ensuring nothing is sticking to the sides of the pot.
  • Next, place 1 bay leaf on the top surface of the soup. Close the lid and ensure the valve is in the "sealing’’ position on the Instant Pot.
  • Now you are ready to set your Instant Pot to ‘pressure cook’ and set the time for 5 minutes. Allow the Instant Pot to naturally release for 10 minutes. After 10minutes of natural release, move the valve to the “venting position” to release the remaining pressure.
  • Once the pressure has been fully released, open the lid and carefully remove and discard the bay leaf from the top of the soup. Be careful, the soup is very hot! Press the ‘cancel’ button and ensure the Instant Pot is set to ‘off’.
  • Garnish with Italian flat-leaf parsley.
