This is one hearty and satisfying soup when the weather is cold. Our family loves it with crusty bread. I'd say it's way better the Olive Garden's.

This was such a delicious, healthy, and easy soup to throw in the instant pot. And I love that I can make minestrone with whatever veggies I need to use up in the fridge. This will be a repeat recipe for sure!

I have made many, many Minestrone recipes and this one is by far the best. I did, however, add pancetta in the beginning just before adding in the carrot, celery and onion. I think the wine had a lot to do with the addition of wine which gave it a great flavor. Thanks for this recipe. I will be making it again very soon.

This turned out absolutely delicious! I loved it with the red wine -- I think it added so much to this recipe!

Hi! I just made this. It’s wonderful! I used Better Than Bullion vegan chicken flavor because I was out of my home made veggie broth and I added a yellow squash in addition to the zucchini. I also used both pinto and cannelloni beans! What a delicious soup!

Seriously good stuff. Meat eater didn’t go fishing for meat, and the cheese loving vegetarians gobbled it down without adding the Parmesan. Everyone of your IP soup recipes I’ve tried have been super consistent and tasty. There is always a perfect balance of ingredients. The recipes invariably make 4 nice portions as written. Preparation methods are similar, making the IP recipes extra easy to use - master one and you’ve got them all without studying a culinary methods book.

In reply to Laurie. Hi Laurie! I am sorry that your soup did not turn out the way you had hoped. I have never had issues with anything getting mushy. I wonder if it took a great deal longer to come to pressure at over 5000 feet? I would maybe set for 0 minutes and then do a NPR for at least 8-9 minutes (so the liquid does not spew out). That may help.

Hi Kristen
I was so excited to find this recipe for minestrone! The ingredients are fantastic. I am a seasoned Instant Pot user, but when I made this according to the directions, everything turned to mush! I even used a high quality whole wheat macaroni, but it did not hold up. I am wondering if you or anyone else has had this problem. I would like to make it again, but definitely need to adjust either the cook time or the NPR time, if it even needs to sit at all. I used the Instant Pot Ultra 6 qt, and live in a high altitude area (over 5,000 ft). Any suggestions you could offer would be greatly appreciated!
