This Instant Pot vegetable soup is a super simple, light and healthy garden vegetable soup with baby greens. Perfect for a Whole30 weeknight dinner.
Sometimes you just need to remove all the bells and whistles and let food be what it is. I feel this is especially true when it comes to vegetables. I often find that vegetable soups have too much going on. And personally, when I'm in the mood for vegetable soup, I kinda want it simple. So that's what we've done here with this soup. We did break tradition just a bit by adding baby leafy greens at the end just to boost the veggie content. I just grabbed a bag of baby kale mix and threw it in at the end.

OMG!! This soup was really really good. Simple to make. I was lucky that I had leeks already prepped in my freezer. The added lemon in the end totally sent this soup overboard. I will make this one again and again. I will add some pasta to it tonight to bulk it up a bit for my hubby. He's not much of a soup man but if I say its stew, its all good. lol

Wow! Came in out of the cold tonight and was looking for something easy to make, using ingredients I had in the house, and Whole30 compliant. This recipe ticked all the boxes! And it’s absolutely delicious! I substituted mirapoix for the leeks; canned organic diced tomatoes for fresh ones; and chicken stock for vegetable stock. Absolutely scrumptious!

Thanks for the review! I definitely love a versatile recipe.

Love it! Used beef and chicken broth because I only had half of each on hand. I also added can of fire roasted tomatoes instead of fresh. Added a can of garbanzo beans and a small fresh red bell pepper and can of southwestern corn. Just kind of used some of everything I like. The kale made it even better. This was wonderful.

This soup was fabulous! I used yellow onion and added celery to start. I used my own homemade canned tomatoes and used frozen green beans! I just found your website and I look forward to making many more of your recipes!
