  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic Fresh garlic gives it that extra flavor boost!
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
Vegetables

  • 2 ribs celery, sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups fire roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup fresh green beans, cut into thirds
  • 1/2 cup canned, frozen, or fresh corn

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Set your Instant Pot to sauté mode and add the canola oil.
  2. Add the finely diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
  3. Turn the Instant Pot off and mix in the tomato paste, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir for about a minute.
  4. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and scrape the bottom with a spoon to lift any bits stuck to the pot.
  5. Add the chopped potatoes, carrots, celery, fire-roasted tomatoes, green beans, corn, and bay leaf. Stir well.
Cooking
  1. Secure the lid on the Instant Pot, turn the valve to sealing, and select Manual or Pressure Cook on high pressure for 2 minutes.
  2. Once cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for 8-10 minutes, then carefully open the valve to release any remaining steam.
Finishing Touches
  1. Fold in the finely chopped spinach and adjust the seasonings if needed. Serve in bowls.
  2. Garnish with cheese or hot sauce if desired.

Notes

Chop veggies ahead of time for easier preparation. Add extra broth or water if you over-salt it. For a unique twist, try adding curry powder.
