Mealthy Tip

Consider all the pasta-bilities. Small shapes are best, such as ditalini, shells, or elbow noodles, but anything that can fit comfortably on a spoon will be right at home in this soup.

Jessica Scott says:

I love this minestrone soup! I always order it when eat out at Italian restaurants and I love that I can now make it at home. This recipe was very flavorful and authentic. If you're looking for a classic, authentic tasting minestrone soup, look no further!

kat satterfield says:

I found my carrots needed a little more time, maybe I sliced them too thick? I added fresh oregano, and parsley since I had it around and some kale instead of spinach. I also dropped in pasta shells for fun. This recipe is great, even with low sodium broth I didn't feel like the flavor was affected. Can't believe how fast this was done, with so little mess!

Ashley Melchiore says:

I was so excited to find this site through a friend on Facebook, there are so many pressure cooker recipes I tried out recently. Got one for my wedding and wasn't quite sure how to work it...Love that instead of having a sautee pan + pots, everything is done in one place and SO FAST. Great recipe will for sure recreate for weeknight meals and likely freeze to save.

Jordan Clark says:

I liked this minestrone recipe, I just wish that I could cooked the noodles in the pot as the same time as the soup. I'm, sure there is a way to do this?

Santana Williams says:

Made this recipe sans green beans. The only way I will probably ever make soup now is in the pressure cooker. I make some type of soup every week to use up the last of my veggies and cut down on food waste. This is a great veggie dump soup to throw everything in.

Kris Wilburn says:

Unbelievably delicious!! We used all organic ingredients and chose ditalini for the pasta. Will definitely keep this one in mind when the weather gets cold.

Kaitlynne Vasquez says:

One of our favorite recipes so far!!! Love it!!!!

Natasha Fraser says:

I loved this soup. I’ve never made it before but this recipe is great for using up your veggies and is packed with vitamins and healthy goodness. The only thing I’d do differently is add extra tomato sauce....it wasn’t as “soupy” as I like but other than that.....two thumbs up!! Definitely saving this to my favourites :)

Phoebe House says:

LOVED this soup, my 8 year old ate 2 bowls! Would definitely make this again.

Amy Sjoblom says:

Loved the taste and all the healthy veggies. It does not come out very soup-y so if that’s your preference, add more broth (I am going to add more when I reheat it for leftovers). I will dial back the thyme a bit next time; it felt more prominent than it should’ve been. But overall, this is a keeper for a healthy winter meal!

Katherine Nguyen says:

Incredible! The whole family had seconds and thirds! Next time, we’ll add even more protein with ground beef/turkey!
