Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups pasta
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 lb ground turkey, 1 cup diced carrots, 1 cup diced celery, 1 cup diced onion, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 can (
- 5 oz) diced tomatoes, 4 cups chicken broth, 2 cups pasta, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Set your Instant Pot to the 'Sauté' mode. Once hot, add the ground turkey to the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it is browned and no longer pink.
- Add the diced onions, carrots, and celery to the pot with the turkey. Sauté the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Pour in the can of diced tomatoes (with their juice) and the chicken broth. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
- Add the pasta to the pot along with the Italian seasoning, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to ensure the pasta is submerged in the liquid.
- Close the lid of the Instant Pot and set the valve to the sealing position. Cancel the 'Sauté' mode and select 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' mode. Set the cooking time for 5 minutes on high pressure.
- Once the cooking time is complete, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for about 5 minutes, then carefully switch the valve to the venting position to release any remaining pressure.
- Open the lid and stir the soup. If the pasta has absorbed too much liquid, you can add a little more broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your hearty Instant Pot Turkey Vegetable Pasta Soup!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, chop your vegetables and measure out the ingredients in advance. This will streamline the cooking process and make it even quicker!
- Sauté for Flavor: Don’t skip the sautéing step! Browning the turkey and softening the vegetables enhances the flavors of your soup, giving it a rich, savory base.
- Adjust the Pasta: Depending on your preference, you can use different types of pasta. Just be mindful of the cooking time, as smaller pasta may cook faster than larger varieties.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add or substitute other vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach. This is a great way to use up leftover veggies in your fridge!
- Season to Taste: Adjust the seasoning to your liking. If you enjoy a bit of heat, consider adding red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
- Leftovers: This soup stores well in the fridge for a few days and can also be frozen. Just remember to add a little extra broth when reheating, as the pasta may absorb some liquid.
- Garnish for Presentation: A sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or basil not only adds color but also enhances the flavor of your soup. Don’t forget to garnish before serving!
