The Best Vegetables To Put In Soup
To make this easy vegetarian soup, I used a combination of fresh vegetables: potatoes, carrots, onion, green beans, celery, corn, zucchini, and garlic.
This soup recipe is customizable and adaptable to fit your specific tastes or dietary needs. For that reason, you may swap the ingredients and use whatever vegetables you like in the soup, such as in-season veggies or frozen.
Yukon Gold and red potatoes are best for this soup because theyholdtheir shape better than otherpotatoes.
Easy Seasoning:
To add extra flavor to the broth, I use a combination of Italian seasoning, bay leaf, and dried basil. Other fresh or dried herbs such as thyme, mint, oregano, cayenne pepper, red chili pepper flakes, or herbs de Provence spice blend can also be used as an alternative seasoning ingredient.
How to Cook Vegetable Soup from Scratch in an Instant Pot:
This soup recipe requires minimal preparation and cooking time. You just need to chop the vegetables, sauté the onion for a few minutes then cook all ingredients in one pot.
The cooking process is pretty quick. You only need to cook this soup for 2 minutes at high pressure and the vegetables will be tender enough to eat but not mushy!
This recipe also works well with any electric pressure cooker, such as Ninja Foodi, or on the stovetop.
Here are some important steps to follow while cooking the soup in an instant pot:
- First, sauté the aromatic onion then garlic to create layers of flavors in soup (umami). This process should take about 5-6 minutes.
- Second, add the canned diced tomatoes into the pot. You want to cook it for about a minute to get rid of any bitter or tinny tastes and to concentrate their flavors. As always, it’s very important to scrape the bottom of the pot so there is nothing stuck which will prevent burning.
- Third, add chopped potatoes, green beans, celery, corn, zucchini, Italian seasoning, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and broth into the pot.
- Next, put the lid on, sealed, and set to manual for "2 minutes". After the cookingcycle finished, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes before opening the lid.
How to Store Leftover Vegetable Soup:
Store the leftover vegetable soup in an airtight container or heavy-duty and it will last for 3-4 days in the fridge or about 4-6 months in the freezer.
You can reheat the soup over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot or reheat in a microwave.
