Notes

If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can make this recipe on the stovetop. Just follow the instructions, but instead of using the pressure cooker setting, bring the soup to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup is thick and the vegetables are tender.

Recipe Tips

For a heartier soup, you can add diced cooked chicken or sausage. You can also add other vegetables, such as zucchini, carrots, or squash. If you like a thicker soup, you can add a few tablespoons of tomato paste. To make the soup a little spicier, add a few dashes of hot sauce. You can also serve the soup with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.
