Tips for Making Healthy Instant Pot Vegetable Soup

  • The seasonings are up to you. You can swap the caraway seeds for 1 1/2 tsp of Herbes de Provence, Italian seasoning, curry powder or whatever you would like.
  • Cut the veggies into thicker chunks than you normally would so they retain their shape.

And a few more tips….

  • You can swap out the veggies to your liking. To keep it low carb, swap some of the veggies for cabbage. If you’re not worried about carbs then you can add other veggies to choice. Beans go well too.
  • This is a soupy soup. You eat veggies and you drink the stock – but feel free to reduce the stock by 125 to 250 ml (1/2 to 1 cup) or add a few more veggies. If you want it even soupier then add another 250 ml (1 cup) of stock.

Health Benefits of Zucchini

Why did I feature zucchini (courgette) in this recipe? Because they are nutritious veggies with a high water content (which will help keep you full) but are low in calories (only 17 calories per 100g).

Zucchini also contains vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium and dietary fibre. It is an ideal healthy soup ingredient.
