Instant Pot® Garden Vegetable Soup
Who knew there were so many months and days to celebrate almost everything under the sun? April is also National Garden Month. And to celebrate that month, we have an Instant Pot® Garden Vegetable Soup. This flexible “clean out the refrigerator” recipe can be adapted countless ways to include whatever fresh vegetables and herbs you happen to have on hand. Tip: Tougher herbs, such as rosemary and thyme, can be added prior to cooking, while more tender options, such as basil and parsley, should be stirred in when the arugula is added. (Discard the woody stems for the tougher herbs before serving). Tip: Use vegetable broth to make it vegetarian.
