Prepare all vegetables in advance (chop onions, green peppers and celery)
Turn instant pot on to sauté function and add olive oil.
Add celery, onion, and green peppers and sauté until soft (should take no more than 3 min)
Season the celery, onion and green peppers
Make sure to scrape up the bottom of the pan and add the scrapings from the bottom (that’s the flavor)!!!!
Add some ghee butter (I use ghee instead of regular butter). It “thickens” the sauce.
Add tomato sauce
Add diced tomatoes
Add butter beans
Add kale
Add carrots
Add green beans
Stir all the ingredients together
Add entire box of vegetable broth
Add onion soup mix
Stir all together then close the seal. Set to manual 17 min
Allow to natural release for at least 10 min
If you’re not adding the potatoes you can enjoy the vegetable soup. But if you want to add the potatoes read below.
Add the potatoes to the soup.
Set instant pot to 10-12 min
Allow to natural release another 7-10 min
Stir and enjoy!
