We had a craving for minestrone soup. We are still new to Instant Pot, so we decided to try this recipe.
The soup turned out well overall. Our modifications: first, we used lacinato kale, stems removed and hand-torn. Second, we found the soup too chunky (esp. with the 3/4 cup ditalini pasta) and added an extra half-cup of chicken broth to make it brothier. The next time, we’ll probably cook the pasta separately and add to the soup bowl when serving. Finally, we balanced the flavors in the end with a dash each of salt and sugar. This overall was a satisfying dish. (Apr. 2025)
