This incredibly easy dump-and-go Instant Pot Minestrone Soup is a delicious Olive Garden Copycat that is easy to make and makes enough to feed the family.

Instant Pot Soup

One of my favorite things about my Instant Pot is how quick it is to make a warming and healthy soup for my family that doesn’t take a few hours on the stove to reach the maximum flavor and tenderness.

This soup is ready in less than 30 minutes which makes it perfect when you’re running low on time for dinner.

Instant Pot Minestrone Soup

I used my 6 qt. Instant Pot to make this recipe so if you’re using a larger pot, you may need to adjust accordingly. You can always check your owner’s manual to view the manufacturer’s instructions. In my 6 qt. pot, this recipe comes out flavorful and tender – it’s so good!

This recipe is made using fresh ingredients and it makes it super flavorful! It also makes a great vegetarian meal – just omit the shell pasta if necessary! You can always substitute the shell pasta for more zucchini or carrots. And of course, omit the Parmesan garnish.

Olive Garden Copycat

This recipe is based on the classic minestrone soup that is served at Olive Garden. It’s packed full of delicious greens and veggies and this Instant Pot recipe easily serves 6!

For my family, it’s not always ideal to sit and wait for up to an hour to eat in the restaurant or to order it to go. I personally love that I can make this restaurant-quality soup in the comfort of home and have enough to serve the family.

Good flavor but i had problems. Half of my chicken broth was frozen so i added 2 minutes to pressure time. Used the soup/stew setting. For some reason the pot didn't naturally release after done, was@ 8 min. ounting up when i realized that. So i released pressure, added the spinach. Macaroni were overcooked and a bit mushy. Not sure what caused this but will try again sticking exactly to recipe with nothing frozen.
