Ingredients for vegetable soup:
Canola Oil: used to sauté the onion Vegetables: I use a blend of onion, carrot, celery, green beans, corn, spinach, and potatoes. Feel free to add in or leave out whatever veggies you want! Tomato Paste: adds richness and flavor depth. Garlic: use freshly minced garlic for the best flavor. Seasonings: Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper Broth: you can keep this soup vegetarian with vegetable broth or use chicken broth or chicken stock instead. Tomatoes: I use fire roasted diced tomatoes, but other flavors will work as well. Bay Leaf: this adds a subtle earthy flavor that heightens the other flavors in the soup.

Variations on this Instant Pot soup
Add meat. You can add ground beef, ground turkey, or Italian sausage to this soup by sautéing the meat with the onion before you add the rest of the ingredients. You can also use up leftover already cooked meat like shredded chicken by just adding it with the broth. Use other veggies. This recipe is super customizable. Use whatever veggies you like! Add beans. You can add vegetarian protein to this soup by mixing in canned and drained cannellini beans, great northern beans, white beans, or even chickpeas. Spice it up. Give your soup a kick of heat by adding in red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper. Make it creamy. You can turn this into a creamy vegetable soup by adding a can of evaporated milk or by serving it with a splash of heavy cream.
Serving suggestions
You can serve this vegetable soup as a light vegetarian entree with a side of garlic herb dinner rolls, garlic bread, or breadsticks. It also makes the perfect side dish next to grilled chicken, air fryer pork chops, or the protein of your choice!
