Instant Pot® Minestrone Soup image

This isn't what I would call an authentic or traditional minestrone. It's simply my way of making a hearty minestrone that's amazingly healthy and quick! I prefer not to use salt or pepper in much of my cooking, to allow the flavors of the food to shine through.

This soup is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the tortellini and the pesto, and they don't even realize they're eating vegetables.
