I feel like I use my Instant Pot about four times a week. My current favorite is hearty minestrone soup. I have been having a great time experimenting and am amazed at how the flavors are locked in and how quickly it's finished!

  • 1 large onion, diced

  • ⅓ pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

  • 2 stalks celery, diced

  • 1 large carrot, diced

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon dried basil

  • 1 pinch ground black pepper, or to taste

  • 6 cups chicken bone broth

  • 1 (28 ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes

  • 1 cup gluten-free ditalini pasta

  • 1 pinch kosher salt, or to taste

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) on Sauté mode. Add beef and onion; cook until beef is no longer pink on the outside, about 4 minutes. Add green beans, celery, carrot, garlic, oregano, dried basil, and black pepper; stir to combine.

  2. Add broth, diced tomatoes, and crushed tomatoes to the Pot; stir to combine. Select Soup setting; close and lock the lid. Select High pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 35 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  3. Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Stir in kidney beans and pasta. Turn on Slow Cook mode; cook according manufacturer's instructions until vegetables and pasta are tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt. Ladle soup into bowls; top with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
