Ingredients

Fresh Ingredients

1 medium yellow onion diced
1 medium zucchini halved lengthwise and sliced thinly
½ cup celery diced
2 cups spinach packed

Pantry and Frozen Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
⅓ cup dry red wine
4 cups vegetable broth
1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 14-ounce can white beans
1 14-ounce can kidney beans
¾ cup frozen cut green beans
1 cup small shell, elbow, or ditalini pasta uncooked (I used gluten-free)

Spices

1½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoons ground black pepper
2 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning

Instructions

Fill the pot: Add all ingredients except the spinach to the instant pot and stir to combine.
Cook: Cook at high pressure for 8-12 minutes. Choose 8 minutes for crisper vegetables, and 12 minutes for softer vegetables. I like to split the difference at 10 minutes so the vegetables are tender and the broth has that 'long-simmered' flavor! It will take the instant pot about 10 minutes to pressurize before the cooking begins.
Release pressure: After the cook time is up, press the manual steam release button and stay clear of the steam. Carefully remove the top after the steam has released.
Add spinach: Add fresh spinach and use a spoon to press it into the broth. Stir to combine once the spinach has wilted and serve hot.

Notes

Storage: Store leftover Instant Pot Minestrone Soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze individual portions of soup in a freezer-friendly container for up to 3 months. I like to pick containers large enough for one or two servings like Souper Cubes.

Gluten-free - use gluten-free pasta and check the ingredients labels for hidden sources of gluten.

Alcohol-free - swap the wine with an equivalent amount of extra vegetable broth.
