This thick and hearty Instant-Pot Minestrone soup is so satisfying and full of healthy veggies and bursting with savory, comforting flavor.
Hello Everyone! How are you all doing? Gearing up for the cold weather? We had beautiful hot summers that we felt were super short. While enjoying the amazing summers, you can hardly remember what the bitter cold is like until its time to remove your winter jackets from the closet. This is the time when you want to be inside the house, be warm and slurp in hot Soups and Stews. We love preparing healthy soups at home and our kids simply love the minestrone soup.
This soup is the perfect easy comforting homemade meal on a cold winter day. Best of all, this quick Instant – pot recipe is simple to customize, hearty & full of fresh vegetables and beans.
Best Minestrone recipe ever!
When you think of minestrone we often think of Olive Garden’s big warm soup bowl and of course all the fixings. Now switch your thought to this Best Instant-Pot Minestrone Soup that will give Olive Garden’s Minestrone soup run for its money. You will be obsessed with this Soup in a whole new way. Instant-Pot Minestrone Soup is full of fresh vegetables but is also loaded with amazing flavor and pasta giving this soup the status of a meal.
If you want to make your life easier here are some make-ahead tips for Instant-pot Minestrone soup
- Chop the veggies the day before and store in an airtight container or zip-top bags in the fridge
- If using dried beans instead of canned, cook and drain ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the fridge
- Leave out the pasta in the soup if you are planning on freezing the soup
- Add the pasta only if you plan on enjoying this on the same day
This Minestrone soup has chock full of chunky veggies, beans, and pasta. Garnish it with some Parmesan cheese that gives it rich, salty flavor. If you are vegan, totally skip the cheese or use vegan cheese and it is still flavorful. Serve this minestrone soup with some garlic bread and you have a simple, delicious, healthy, and satisfying meal.
Usually, we gravitate toward creamy soups, like this Instant-Pot Vegan Pumpkin Soup, this Instant-pot Vegetable quinoa soup or this Asian Manchow soup. But this Instant-pot minestrone soup is an exception. We have been making this recipe for years, and it’s our absolute favorite.

February 26, 2019 at 2:23 pmMaking the soup today in my instapot to freeze for the colder nights when I don’t wanna make anything. I added some smoked beef sausage and chopped bell pepper. It’s on high pressure right now getting ready to cook and I can’t wait to taste the end result. Looks totally yummy! 🍜😊

February 1, 2019 at 12:33 pmI tried this last month and it was absolutely fantastic! Because I use it as a main entree, I increased the amount of the specified veggies. I also used a whole wheat large penne pasta. This soup was far better than the one Olive Garden serves. Because it was a large batch in the Hot Pot, I froze it in containers. Took one out last week for dinner and it was just as good…..including the pasta I had originally added.

What are the substitutes for canned timatoto and tomato sauce. I don’t use canned stuff.
Soniya Saluja
January 30, 2019 at 8:29 pmHi Swati , you can use 3 tbsp tomato paste and dilute it in water. You can even make tomato sauce at home by boiling 4 large tomatoes in hot water remove the skin and seeds and make a puree.

January 30, 2019 at 7:20 pmWow – just made this tonight and it was absolutely delicious! I made it according to the recipe and we loved it. Next time I would add a 1/4 cup more pasta just cuz I like pasta!

October 16, 2018 at 11:09 amI wouldn’t have thought to add tomato sauce to this. I always add the diced tomatoes but not the sauce. I bet it adds a level a “creaminess” to the soup more than just having the broth does!
Megan
October 15, 2018 at 12:26 pmThis looks so delicious! And thank you for including directions for those of us without an instant pot! I know so many people love them, but I have such limited kitchen storage space right now, I’m trying to hold out on the purchase! This soup looks so good, I’m definitely going to have to try it!
