Tips:

Use a good quality vegetable broth for the best flavor. If you don't have any on hand, you can use water instead, but the soup will be less flavorful.
Don't overcrowd the Instant Pot with vegetables. If you do, they won't cook evenly.
Be careful not to overcook the vegetables. They should be tender, but still have a slight bite to them.
Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or paprika, to taste.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chives. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for a richer flavor.

Conclusion:

This Instant Pot potato leek and carrot soup is a hearty, flavorful, and easy-to-make soup that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
