Instant Pot Tuscan Vegetable Bean Soup

This Instant Pot Tuscan Vegetable Bean Soup is full bodied, flavorful and enough for lunch or dinner. And you will love it’s versatility. You can use almost any vegetable you have in your fridge along with some beans and the fresh herbs and it will give you a healthy, easy meal in no time. Delicious year round!

There are so many ways you can change this up especially if you’re wanting to make it the full meal deal by adding any of the following:

When you make this soup, promise me you will use fresh herbs – it’s a must for the flavor! I also used organic canned tomatoes but fresh ones would be preferable. When I am adding zucchini and spinach to a soup, I generally wait till the very end because I really dislike them soggy. Sometimes I even wait and just add it to my individual bowl. If you are making a double batch or freezing this, I would divide it and freeze without the spinach and zucchini. It is so much nicer when you can add them fresh at the end.

This soup came together so quickly and who doesn’t love an easy Instant Pot meal?

Recipe Notes

Instructions for Stove Top

  1. Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, red pepper, garlic, thyme, oregano, rosemary and salt and pepper and cook stirring occasionally until the vegetables are tender, about 5 -7 minutes.
  2. Add the broth, beans and tomatoes with the juice and bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium high and continue to cook for 45 minutes.
  3. Add pasta and cook for 7 minutes.
  4. Add zucchini and cook for 2 minutes. (I like mine crunchy so I leave it till the end. You can add it sooner if you prefer.)
  5. Put a small handful of spinach in bowl and spoon soup over top.  Serve immediately. Top with Parmesan cheese if desired.
