Healthy, hearty, and comforting Instant Pot Vegetable Soup. This electric pressure cooker soup recipe is delicious and perfect for those cold and rainy days. It’s vegan, gluten free, and oil free.
Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but this soup is so delightful. And, it’s so freaking cold outside we don’t want to go anywhere. So, let’s stay home and enjoy this homemade Instant Pot Vegetable Soup. And, not settle for some sodium-saturated canned water.
Pressure cooking has never been safer or easier. It’s one of the best ways to make things like this Instant Pot Vegetable Soup. I’ve been making vegetable soup for years, but not this easy or tasty! And, because I always use frozen vegetables in this recipe, it really couldn’t get any easier.
Let’s make some soup!
How To Make Instant Pot Vegetable Soup
Start by dicing your onion and celery while the Instant Pot is heating on saute. Once it reads “HOT” it’s ready. Now, toss in the onion, minced garlic, and celery and cook for about 2-3 minutes. If needed, add 1-2 Tbsp of the veggie broth to prevent sticking. But, you should be fine.
Press “CANCEL” on the Instant Pot and add the tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine everything and let it all cook for about 1 minute.
Pour in the low sodium vegetable broth, stir with a wooden spoon, and be sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to make sure nothing is sticking.
Add the chopped potatoes, 3 cups of the frozen veggies (green beans, corn, peas, and carrots), diced tomatoes, and kidney beans.
Put the cover on the Instant Pot, lock the lid, select “Manual” and set the time to 5 minutes. It will take the Instant Pot about 20 minutes or so to come to pressure with this much liquid. So, be sure and take that into consideration when considering the cook time.
Once the soup is done let the pressure cooker do a natural release for 10 minutes, then do a quick release for any pressure that remains. Open the lid, taste, and adjust your seasoning.

Hi, thank you for this recipe, it looks delish. FYI you may have a typo in the recipe , it has corn listed twice, it may should say carrots??? Only saying so it can be corrected if it is a typo. Thanks again
Hi, Sheika! Thank you and I just changed it. I’m not the best proofreader in the world. LOL! Blessings.
Which size Instant Pot do you have? I bought a three-quart today so I could make this soup (you’ve inspired me!) but I think I should go back and exchange it for the 6-quart.
Hi, Jeanne! Yes, I have this one: https://amzn.to/30fq1A1
It is the 6 quart, I believe. But, I’m planning on upgrading soon…I hope:)
