Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ cups chopped carrots
1 cup sliced celery
½ cup diced red onion
1 teaspoon dried parsley
¼ teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
6 cups no-salt-added chicken broth
20 Italian meatballs, preferably home made
½ cup pastina pasta
6 ounces baby spinach
4 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Pour in oil and heat until hot. Add carrots, celery, and red onion; cook until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with parsley, basil, and pepper. Pour in chicken broth and add meatballs. Close and lock the lid. Close the valve and select the Soup function according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 3 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Add pastina and stir to combine. Replace the lid. Close the valve and select the Soup function according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 3 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and stir. Let soup sit for 5 minutes so pasta will be fully cooked and spinach will be wilted. Season with salt to taste.
  • Ladle into bowls and top with Parmesan cheese.

I'm not a big fan of escarole, so I used spinach instead. It was still delicious.

This soup was a hit with my family! The broth was flavorful and the meatballs were tender and juicy. I added some extra vegetables, such as carrots and celery, to make it even more hearty.
