INSTANT POT® BUCKWHEAT MINESTRA
My husband and I eat soup at every supper. This is a vegan soup that I make at least 3 times a month. We love it that much. It makes a large quantity. I usually freeze half. During fall and winter, I use pumpkin or butternut squash. In the summer, I use green zucchini. I add lots of flavorful ingredients, so we never add salt.

Tips:

- Feel free to add other vegetables to the soup, such as carrots, celery, or zucchini.

- Serve the soup with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs. You can also serve it with crusty bread or crackers.
