Instant Pot Fat Burning Soup
Vegetables have so few calories and so many nutrients that they make a perfect addition to your diet if you’re striving to achieve a healthy weight and feel energetic. This soup is packed with vegetables. I love making this soup for lunches in the cold weather months. It helps me get in lots of veggies and I love eating something warm and comforting.
My kids, husband and I all loved this dump and go soup for dinner served with cheese toast. I’m going to have to make a second batch today for lunches!
Ingredients/Substitution Ideas
- Celery
- Carrots
- Onion
- Green pepper–or another color of bell pepper
- Cabbage

Steps
- Dump ingredients into Instant Pot: Add celery, carrots, onion, green pepper, cabbage, cauliflower, water, broth, tomato juice, onion soup mix and Worcestershire sauce to the Instant Pot.
- Pressure cook: Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the soup button to 15 minutes (if you don’t have a soup button just use the pressure cook button). When time is up let pot sit for 10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.
- Serve: Stir and add in fresh cracked pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and serve.

Notes/Tips
- Serve with saltine crackers or whole wheat bread. This is the most amazing and easy to make whole wheat bread recipe. I make it every other week!
- This soup can be whatever you want it to be. Feel free to add in green beans, corn, garlic, spinach, or kale.
- If you want to add in some protein to this soup consider adding in a can of beans. You can also add in a couple cups of rotisserie chicken or browned ground turkey. One thing that I love is adding a big scoop of cottage cheese into my bowl. It sounds weird but it tastes really yummy!
- You can make this recipe gluten-free if you use gluten-free Worcestershire sauce and onion soup mix.
- This recipe can be dairy free if your onion soup mix is dairy free.
- I used my 6 quart Instant Pot*. You can also make this in an 8 quart pot. Halve the recipe in a 3 quart pot.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Other recipes you can make with the other half of the head of cabbage are Instant Pot Cabbage Roll Casserole and Cabbage, Potatoes and Sausage.
