Instant Pot Weight Loss Vegetable Soup Recipe - hearty and filling vegetable soup made in an electric pressure cooker. Helps to detox and lose weight.
We love Instant Pot Soups that are packed with veggies, like my Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup or the Instant Pot Minestrone.
INSTANT POT WEIGHT LOSS VEGETABLE SOUP
A big bowl of vegetable loaded soup that is delicious and good for your body is my new favorite thing to make in my Instant Pot pressure cooker. If I plan ahead and get my veggies chopped and ready, all I need to do is place it all in the IP and let it do its magic. You can make a batch of this soup and freeze half for later. Cooking this soup in the electric pressure cooker can be as easy as placing all ingredients in the insert and set it to cook. I like to saute garlic and onion in olive oil for just a little bit, as I find that raw onion can overwhelm the soup with its flavor a bit. It's a personal preference.
How to make Instant Pot Weight Loss Vegetable Soup?
- To make this vegetable soup, place ingredients in the Instant Pot,
- set to high pressure and press the SOUP setting.
- Set timer to 12 minutes and let the pressure cooker do its work.
Tips for making Instant Pot Vegetable Soup:
- You can use any beans you like. I used red kidney beans but you can use Northern white beans or black beans.
- You can skip the onion and use red pepper instead.
- Don't like cauliflower? Use broccoli instead.
- Last but not least, use low sodium and low carb vegetable stock ( or chicken stock if you are not trying to make it vegan ). I love adding turmeric to any dish I can and I used it in this soup too. If you have it on hand, add ½ teaspoon. To read about the health benefits of turmeric, check out my Golden Milk Latte post.
Can I add meat to this soup?
To add more protein, use quinoa ( a generous scoop of cooked quinoa is delicious with this soup) or cooked and shredded or diced chicken or even cooked ground turkey.

This recipe is oh so good!
I left out the kidney beans and cauliflower and added a little bit of parpadelle pasta. I also used homemade vegetable broth that I made from veggie scraps.

Vicki says
I really enjoyed this recipe. The directions were great and the results even better. It was the first time using my instant pot and the prep took longer than the cooking. Yes, the soup was spicy and I loved it, as did my husband. I appreciated the addition of the beans.. giving the soup a bit more interest. Thank you for posting it!
Gale says
Just made this soup. Very good but on the spicy side. Good for a winter night.

Good soup! Nice alternative to the traditional veggie beef I'm used to. A little spicy.
