No matter what food goes in the Instant Pot, it always comes out tasting fantastic! Instant Pot Vegetable Soup is a classic example. So simple but healthy and so yummy!

Carrots, green beans, white sweet potatoes, kale, cauliflower rice, onions, and garlic. About all the veggies are covered in this dish. This Instant Pot Veggie Soup will be sure to fuel that body!
We like to eat a good toasty piece of bread topped with my Roasted Garlic Butter Spread with this soup. Everyone needs a good piece of gluten free bread to dunk in soups. Seriously don’t you think this should be a food law 🙂 Ha!
The flu hit our house this week and it took my daughter out! This vegetable soup totally hit the spot. Our daughter was finally able to eat and she took one bit and said, “Mommy this is the best!”. It truly made my night 🙂

Step by step instructions
- First Chop your carrots, sweet potatoes (I used white sweet potatoes), and onions.
- Then Press the SAUTE button on the Instant Pot. Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil and put your onions in to sweat it out and become soft (about 5 minutes). Add your garlic.
- Next add your carrots, cauliflower rice, sweet potatoes, green beans, kale, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and tomato paste.
- Add bone broth and stir your soup to get it all incorporated.
- Finally Put your lid on the Instant Pot and seal. Press the MANUAL button and set for 25 minutes. Make sure the vent is in the SEALED position.
- Once it beeps finished, manually release the pressure by turning the vent valve to the VENTING position. Give it a stir and enjoy your Vegetable Soup!
Tips for success
- You can easily find already chopped veggies at the store and make this even easier for you. This will definitely save you time if you are in a hurry!
- I bought a bag of frozen Kale that was 10 ounces. We used half the bag for this soup so 5 ounces. Sometimes frozen veggies can produce a lot of excess water. I placed the Kale on paper towels while I was chopping the other veggies. This helped absorb some of that water. I did not want to dilute the flavors of my soup.
- If your family doesn’t like kale, you can substitute with fresh spinach. After your soup has finished cooking add 3 cups of fresh spinach and stir. Let the spinach sit in the hot soup for about 3 minutes to allow it to soften and wilt. Stir again and serve.
- We are not vegetarians so I did use a beef broth because I find that it has such a rich flavor and adds so much depth and taste to the soup. If you are a vegetarian you can substitute for vegetable broth.
- My husband and son like to add a dash or two or three of hot sauce:) They like their food spicy!
- We also like to add some sour cream to our soup. It gives it a nice creamy taste. I use non-dairy, Forager sour cream. Its a great alternative for my dairy free friends.
- SLOW COOKER INSTRUCTIONS: Follow the instructions above and place all the ingredients in the slow cooker, stir everything around. Low heat for 6 hours or high heat for 3 hours. Make sure all the veggies are fork tender. If not add some additional time.
This soup pairs so well with my Roasted Garlic Butter Spread.

This was SO easy and delicious!! I have a GF child and she loved it! All 4 of my kids, even my picky eater, loved it! I did not have Italian seasoning so I just added extra garlic salt and some thyme! We added some sour cream and shredded cheese on top and it was a healthy and amazing dinner! Thank you!
