Is it just me, or do you also love a good bowl of soup even when it’s not cold out? While I tend to favor soups during colder weather, I’m also a big fan of them any time of year. My Instant Pot Vegetable Soup is the kind of soup I crave year-round. It’s very light yet fulfilling, and something I can make in minutes, thanks to the Instant Pot.
Sometimes I just serve this Instant Pot vegetable soup as a meal, while other times, it’s simply the start of what’s to come. As you can see, it’s very colorful with green beans and green onions, red tomatoes and radishes, white cannellini beans, and a light broth to tie it all together.
Ingredients
When you’re ready to cook, your table should have:
Cooking process
Cooking Instant Pot vegetable soup is so easy. You simply need to:
- Saute the aromatics
- Add the veggies and the broth
- Cook at high pressure for 4 minutes
That’s it!
Once the soup is done cooking, drizzle a bit of soy sauce and sesame oil into it before serving. Enjoy it piping hot or warm for the best medley of beautiful flavors!
No Instant Pot, no problem
The Instant Pot really makes this soup so quickly, though if you don’t have an Instant Pot, you can make it on the stovetop, as well. It will just take a bit longer. The key is to sauté the ginger first, which unleashes its fragrance. On the stove, you can use the same pot. Simply simmer the soup until everything turns tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
This recipe is perfect for adding more vegetables to your meal, or if you’re vegetarian or vegan, you won’t have to make any adjustments to make it fit your lifestyle. It’s a vegetable soup that everyone can enjoy.

Thank you for this recipe! I forgot about it and left it to depressurize by itself on the keep-it-warm setting and it turned out perfect. It’s delicious so thank you as I don’t usually cook with radish and now have a recipe for it and will definitely make it again.
