Happy new year!  I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season.  I took some time off with my family and it was wonderful.  I’m happy to be back working now (that’s what a break will do for a person!). 🙂

I don’t make new year’s resolutions, but I have made goals to get to the gym 4-5 times per week, and to be more organized with work and meal planning.  What about you?

I love incorporating soup into my meal plans, especially this time of year.  This white bean and kale soup is a favorite, and this round up of 35 ultimate soup recipes has something for everyone in the family!

This Instant Pot Vegetable Soup is a recipe that I created this past fall, and I couldn’t think of a better time to share it than right now.

Is homemade vegetable soup healthy?

Most store bought vegetable soups are packed with sodium and preservatives.  Homemade vegetable soup is healthier because you control the ingredients. 

Make my homemade vegetable stock to add more flavor to your soup and control the sodium.

Who knew vegetable soup could be so hearty without potato or pasta?  This Instant Pot vegetable soup is just that. 

It’s filled with chunky vegetables that will satisfy you heart and soul.

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Olive oil
  • Leeks
  • Carrots

  • Green beans
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Vegetable broth
  • Riced cauliflower

This may look like a lot of ingredients, but I promise that you won’t spend more than 10 minutes of prep.

All of these ingredients give the soup its heartiness and impart so much flavor.

How to make this recipe

I love making soup in my pressure cooker because the cooking time is much shorter and it it makes for a more flavorful soup!

  1. Sauté the leeks, carrots, parsnips and celery for 5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and bell pepper, and sauté 1 minute longer.
  2. Add the green beans, diced tomatoes, broth, riced cauliflower, bay leaf, herbs and salt and pepper to taste, and stir well. 
  3. Secure the lid, close the venting valve, and set to High Pressure for 3 minutes.  Note:  the Instant Pot will take 10-15 minutes to come to pressure before it begins the cooking process.  After 3 minutes, quick release the pressure and remove the lid when it’s safe to do so.
  4. Discard the bay leaf and stir in the spinach and lemon juice.  Adjust the seasoning if needed and serve!
