This hearty minestrone soup is not only easy to make but also kid-friendly. Harness the power of your Instant Pot or other multicooker to cook dried beans without having to soak them overnight, and to infuse the broth with loads of flavor in a short period of time.

This is super popular at our house. Even my SAD-eating 12 year old loves it. Sometimes when I don’t have all the root veggies, I use a sturdier potato instead. I also sub veggie broth for water for bigger flavor.
