Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
  • 12 ounces frozen peas and carrots
  • 12 ounces frozen green beans
  • 12 ounces frozen corn

Liquids and Seasonings

  • 3 ½ cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon cracked pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Aromatics: Turn the Instant Pot to the ‘Sauté’ setting and heat the olive oil. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add Vegetables and Seasonings: Pour in the canned diced tomatoes with their juice, frozen peas and carrots, frozen green beans, frozen corn, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and cracked pepper. Stir everything well to combine.
  4. Pressure Cook the Soup: Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and set the valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 4 minutes.
  5. Release Pressure: Allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, then carefully open the quick release valve to release any remaining pressure.
  6. Finish and Serve: Remove the lid, stir in the fresh chopped parsley, and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if desired. Serve the soup immediately while hot.

Notes

  • You can use vegetable broth instead of beef broth for a vegetarian option, but this recipe as is includes beef broth.
  • Frozen vegetables can be substituted or adjusted based on preference or availability.
  • Natural pressure release helps the vegetables finish cooking gently and improves texture.
  • Adding fresh herbs at the end preserves their bright flavor.
