Skinny Pressure Cooker Vegetable Soup
I designed this dish to be really adaptable to what you have on hand - as well as budget friendly.
This soup can be made with freezer vegetables, saving you a lot of money and time chopping to prep.
We really went for as much flavor as possible without using expensive ingredients, gluten, and kept it vegan - so you can feel good about feeding your family this tasty soup!
While this recipe is vegan, this soup is a knockout with our Wine Grilled Cheese - perfect to dunk in the soup!
Or you can serve it alongside our roasted cauliflower steaks with red pepper sauce, or The Best Air Fried Mushrooms!

Make it keto. Keeping a keto diet can be tricky - especially with vegetables. To make it easier, we’re rounding up vegetables to use (in moderation), and vegetables with a higher starch and carb content to avoid if you’re trying to keep a keto or low carb diet.
The following vegetables are keto approved:
- Onion (stick to ½ onion as it is sugary, so use in moderation)
- Garlic (again, moderate amount)
- Celery
- Okra
- Green Beans
- Tomatoes (in moderation - use tomatoes that have not added any sugar)
- Jicama
- Asparagus
- Broccoli
- Zucchini
- Cauliflower
- Cabbage
- Bell Peppers
The following vegetables are higher in sugar/starch content and shouldn’t be used if keeping a low carb diet:
- Corn
- Soybeans
- Lentils
- Peas
- Quinoa
- Beans
- Chickpeas
Recipe FAQ’s
It can be tricky to know whether to let the pressure in your instant pot disperse - for this recipe, we let the steam vent (be careful turning the vent release and always have hands and face away from vent) using a forced release - but you can use natural release (just wait 15 minutes for pressure to all dissipate.)
