This Italian Vegetable Soup cooked in an Instant Pot is fabulous and tastes best served with crusty bread or crackers. My family requests it often, especially on chilly days.

If desired, add water and a bouillon cube, carrots, zucchini, stewed tomatoes, garlic, and beans. Stir and add all spices, and stir again until blended. Put the lid on the Instant Pot until it beeps and locks. Ensure the pressure valve is set to 'SEALING' and press the SOUP button.
Allow the Pot to build and release pressure automatically. When Soup is done, the Pot will automatically go to the KEEP WARM setting and begin to count up. Turn the valve to venting to make sure all pressure has been released, and remove the lid slowly, careful of the water and steam on the lid.

The seasonings can be adjusted to your taste. You could also substitute ground beef for the sausage.
