Pssst.. If you're making this a vegetarian recipe, use vegetable-based broth. If you want to use a meat-based broth, we recommend chicken or bone broth.
–Directions:
Step 1: Put minced garlic, onion and chopped vegetables into your Instant Pot.
Step 2: Add diced tomatoes, beans, broth and dried seasonings (oregano, thyme, basil, red pepper, parsley, salt and pepper) and stir. Top with bay leaf and fresh rosemary.
Top tip — If you have a herb bag, we recommend putting the rosemary in there!
Step 3: Make sure the top nob on your Instant Pot is set to sealing, press the soup button, set the time to 10:00 minutes and press start.
Step 4: Once your Instant Pot beeps the soup is ready. Yay!
Let the Instant Pot naturally release some of the pressure for about 10-15 minutes and then release the remaining pressure manually by switching the steam valve to venting (use cloth when releasing the pressure).
Step 5: If eating immediately, season with salt, pepper and parmesan to taste. Add lemon juice (one small wedge per cup) if desired.
If freezing, just add salt and pepper to taste and ladle into your Souper Cubes. Add parmesan and lemon once defrosted and heated through. Delish!
By using the Instant Pot and Souper Cubes, you've unlocked a world of convenience, allowing you to focus on what truly matters — connecting with loved ones.
