Tuscan Vegetable Soup Instant Pot Recipe

Last week was glorious with 5 out of 7 days of bright warm sun. I went for a walk almost every day basking in the gold of the sun. Birds were out and I could notice trees ready to bloom and suddenly it has been snowing since last 2 days. Ugh! Mother Nature is really unpredictable. I hope this is the last snow of the season. Weather like this calls for a warm bowl of comforting soup and this soup is just perfect to keep the warmth and comfort intact.

My kids love a warm bowl of soup as an after-school meal when they come back hungry. Therefore I am making Soups often, no matter which season it is. A bowl of good soup rids them of day long tiredness and refreshes them for home work, after school activities. The best part is that they remain full till dinner, without indulging in junk food.

If you ask me why I made it in Instant Pot, then here are my answers –

It is a ONE POT cooking and that is definitely a score for me.
The best part is that I do not have to baby sit my food when I cook in Instant Pot. Just Saute, cook, shut the lid, set the timer and forget. Food is ready whenever you open.
Another great reason is it is a mess free and convenient cooking. Making food in Instant Pot is so easy that even your teenage kids can cook in it without the fear of getting burnt or burning the food.
My time is my own with Instant Pot Cooking. I can multi-task easily.

I think above are good enough reasons to Cook in Instant Pot.

What is Tuscan Soup?

Tuscan soup is commonly known as Zuppa Toscana, which simply means “Soup in the style of Tuscany“. The Tuscan soup is cooked mainly with seasonal vegetables including greens, potatoes, canellini beans and powdered chili along with Italian Bacon in it. It is served on Toasted Italian Bread and splashed with little olive oil on the top.

American version includes sausages, bacon, heavy cream plus all the vegetables and beans.

My version is completely VEGAN and GLUTENFREE. It has no meat and no dairy. OLIVE GARDEN is famous for its Zuppa Toscana and now you can make a vegetarian version of famous soup at home.

Some other soups that I rotate on regular basis are

Home Style Minestrone Soup

Tom Yum with Tofu
