This is a great Instant Pot® recipe for cleaning out veggies from your fridge. I put in my recipe things that are always in my fridge but you can easily substitute the veggies and add cauliflower, celery, or zucchini, etc. Make sure you have at least a 6-quart pressure cooker.

Recipe made as written with one exception. I used red potato instead of yellow because it holds its shape better. Delicious base hamburger soup to mix and match all the veggies in the drawer, as alievanleuven said. Nice. Thanks for the recipe. :) Read More

Loved this recipe as is. Very similar in taste to O.G. minestrone soup! In fact, one could add kidney beans, spinach and a few items easily to replicate minestrone. The quantities listed for cabbage, potatoes and carrots could easily be increased. I used Yukon Gold potatoes, they held together fine Read More

An incredible soup. Only changed broth to a combination of vegetable and chicken because that s what I had (six cups). Believe I would be happy to have this for many days in a row. Read More
