Instructions
Easiest Vegan Minestrone Soup Instant Pot Recipe:
- Set your instant pot on sauté. Add olive oil, garlic, onion, carrots, celery and let cook for 3-4 minutes. I like to add salt to this step because it carries through out the recipe.
- Add mushrooms and let cook for another 2 minutes.
- Next, Add canned tomatoes, black beans, shell pasta and broth to the instant pot.
- Then go crazy on your spices. I like to add garlic powder, oregano, a little chili powder and a normal amount of… pepper (okay a little more than normal).
- Turn off your instant pot and then click on “soup”. Add 20 minutes to the timer. Let cook!
- When done, release the valve. Open the lid and add your spinach. Taste and see if the soup needs more salt. Serve up and enjoy! Easy, right?
Easiest Vegan Minestrone Soup Stove Top Recipe
- Instead of using your instant pot, make everything in your dutch oven or stove pot.
- All you need to do is follow the recipe above BUT instead of adding in the pasta to your soup, cook the pasta in the separate pot.
- I like to cook my soup on medium low for about 20-30 minutes and add the cooked pasta and spinach at the end.
