Instant Pot® Minestrone Soup image

This isn't what I would call an authentic or traditional minestrone. It's simply my way of making a hearty minestrone that's amazingly healthy and quick! I prefer not to use salt or pepper in much of my cooking, to allow the flavors of the food to shine through.

This soup was a lot of work to make, and it wasn't worth it. The flavors were just okay.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better.
