Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1/2 small head cabbage, chopped
- 1 small yellow turnip (rutabaga), chopped
- 4 medium carrots, sliced
- 4 stalks celery, sliced
- 1 onion, chopped
Liquids & Oils
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2/3 cup dry white wine
- 8 cups vegetable broth
Spices & Herbs
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 bay leaf
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: Set your Instant Pot to the sauté setting. Once hot, add the olive oil and chopped onion. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
- Deglaze with Wine: Pour in the dry white wine and use a spoon or spatula to scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pot. This adds delicious flavor to the soup base.
- Add Vegetables and Broth: Add the chopped cabbage, turnip, sliced carrots, sliced celery, vegetable broth, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf to the pot. Stir everything together to combine the ingredients.
- Pressure Cook: Secure the Instant Pot lid and lock it into place with the vent sealed. Set the pot to pressure cook on high for 10 minutes to cook the vegetables perfectly and meld the flavors.
- Release Pressure: Carefully move the quick release valve to the venting position to release all steam. Once the float valve drops, indicating that pressure has fully released, open the lid carefully.
- Serve: Remove the bay leaf from the soup. Ladle the hot vegetable soup into bowls and enjoy your wholesome, comforting meal immediately.
