INSTANT POT MINESTRONE SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Add ground hamburger into the instant pot and push the SAUTE button. Brown the hamburger for 2 minutes and then add in the chopped onion. Finish cooking the hamburger and onion together until the meat is cooked through. Drain the grease well.
• Add in zucchini, celery, potatoes, and carrots and stir into the meat mixture.
• Then add in the garlic and tomatoes with liquid. The instant pot is still on SAUTE, so you will need the liquid from the tomatoes.
• Next add in the Italian Seasoning, tomato juice, kidney beans, cannellini beans, and green beans. Stir together gently because the instant pot is getting full.
• Add in the pasta and 2 cups of beef broth. Then give the soup another gentle stir.
• Place the lid on the instant pot and place the valve to SEALING.
• Push CANCEL to end the saute cooking. Then push MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK. Set the cook time for 6 minutes.
• When cook time is done, let it set for about 10 minutes for a natural release. Then turn the valve to VENTING for the remainder of the pressure to release.
• When it is done venting, remove the lid and stir gently.
• Add 2 more cups of beef broth for the soup consistency you like.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
