Instant Pot Carrot and Sweet potato Soup Recipe

March 18, 2020

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

My SO was craving vegetable soup on a random Sunday and we didn’t have any. We did have a lot of random veggies that were looking a bit ugly and didn’t necessarily go together, so he proposed to try making one in the Instant Pot. We quickly chopped those veggies, added some veggie broth and spices to the Instant Pot and then we let it do its work. The results? We haven’t bought store bought soup ever since. And because I’m all about not throwing away food, I want to share this recipe with all of you: so here it is, our instant Pot (zero waste) carrot & sweet potato soup recipe.

Before we head into the recipe, I want to clarify that you are going to be judging your own vegetables here. I know the veggies I used were still GOOD to eat even if they were a bit ugly looking. If your carrot smells funny or has some MOLD in it, please don’t eat it, use it for compost. Follow your own judgement! This recipe is to use vegetables that will soon be not good for consumption, but you still want to use them and therefore, not waste them.

🇫🇷 La recette en français est disponible tout en bas !

Close up of the Instant Pot Soup Recipe

Ingredients

I’ve noticed that we rarely (and by we, I talk about all of us who post stuff on the internet), talk about “ugly looking vegetables” or as Id like to call them “Vegetables that are still freaking delicious but are not too Instagramable so we ain’t going to put them in a picture”. We all know what vegetables I’m referring to and we all have had this situation. I’m going to list some ingredients but honestly, just use whatever you have in your fridge that is starting to look a bit meh but will still taste quite good.

I have made this recipe several times, but in most situations I used:

  • Carrots : I buy a lot of carrots because they are so good but sometimes some of them go to the back of the fridge and they are usually the main ingredient in my soup.
  • Tomatoes: when they go super ripe, sometimes it’s hard to eat them. In Spain we use tomatoes for a lot of things, specially if they are ripe, but you can use a ripe tomato for soups, or even for homemade tomato sauces.
  • Celery: Specially the leaves. Sometimes they go dry from being in the fridge, but don’t throw them. Add them in the soup and the flavor will be outstanding.
  • Onions, Garlic and Sweet Potatoes : Other stuff that I always add not because it’s going bad but just because I love it
  • Veggie broth: you can either use homemade, or store-bought.
  • Spices: I mostly use curcuma and basil. They give really nice flavors.

How to make this Instant Pot Soup? (no matter the vegetables)

Chop all the veggies in dices and add them with a generous amount of olive oil. We are going to saute them for like 3 to 5 minutes, then we will add the broth to deglaze the bottom.

Once that is done, we will close the Instant Pot with the lid and place the valve to sealing position. We will cook this soup 5 minutes in High Pressure. The pot will take around 10 minutes to reach max pressure. Once the timer is at 0:00, we will carefully do a Quick Release.

Now, this is a technique I always use when making soups or similar: I take out the liquid by cups and I set them aside. I do this because I’d rather add liquid to the soup than have a soup that is way too liquid. Unplug the Instant Pot and start blending the vegetables with a handheld blender. Add the liquid until you reach the desired consistency. If you have some leftover broth, you can totally store it and use it later.

Serve with some salt and pepper, and you can also add a splash of milk. You can also add some cheddar cheese or some toasted bread and even some chives!

Result

This recipe is perfect for those days where you need something heart-warming and cozy. Also, super simple to make. The flavors of this soup are just amazing and I think that is one of the main reasons why the Instant Pot is such a great thing to have in your kitchen (I swear I am not being paid by them, I wish). The beauty of the Instant Pot is that it enhances the flavors by 10 in half of the time (in certain recipes).I know for sure store-bought soup is a thing of the past, and this zero waste vegetable soup recipe is my now and future.

Do you have any recipes (instant Pot or not) that have changed your mind about store-bought products? I know my lasagnas are another one of those examples, and also my homemade granola. Not only these recipes are nicer, they are also much cheaper and more environmental friendly (less packaging!).

What are some things that you tried at home and said “no more” to the store? Tell me all in the comments!

I am so excited to read these books but except the "for the throne" book, I don't really know what they are about. 

💬 Do you usually buy books just because of the cover?
📚Book review: A haunted road atlas by @theemsch 📚Book review: A haunted road atlas by @theemschulz and @xtineschiefer (podcast @atwwdpodcast) 

I gotta say I was way too excited about this book because it is the first time I can actually buy something from my favourite podcasters without having to pay +50€ of shipping. But that's just a side note. 

🌍What is this book about? As the title says, it's a guide of haunted places in the US :  a mix of paranormal and true crime stories told by Em and Christine and other cool / haunted places to visit in each city/state. 

👻The stories, while obviously dark, are told in a funny way and it goes by like a breeze. I read it like a normal book, but you can totally read it one state at a time and it'd be even greater.

The book is quite original because well, there is a million road trip guides out there but few like this one! 

🔥I'm a huge fan of ATWWD so i may be a bit biased, but nonetheless this was great and entertaining and I really want to do a freaking road trip now!

Some very good books but some very bad ones too in January. My fave read was "Le refuges" by Jérôme Loubry, such a Great thriller. 
The worst was house of accidents, it could have been SO GOOD, yet it was...so bad.

✨Meat & veggie broth✨ Quick recipe with the In ✨Meat & veggie broth✨
Quick recipe with the Instant pot today : this is one of my favourite things to make because you get : awesome broth, awesome meat and veggies, and tons of possible meals out of it. 

To make this easy broth you will need : 
- 2 to 3 different types of meat : I usually get jamón (but in France it's very costly to find good one), chicken legs, beef ribs or beef meatballs). For this one I used the chicken legs, beef ribs and pork belly. 
- veggies: all you want, everyone is welcomed !! I mainly use cabbage, carrots, leek, celery, potatoes. Sometimes I put garlic in there. 
- chickpeas 
- salt and pepperrrrr
- i use a bit of soy sauce to give an extra quick as well. 

Now, put everything in the instant pot, put water till almost the max limit and close the lid. If you making it with meat, go 1h + natural release (up to two hours).
