    Instant pot Veggie and Quinoa soup with power-packed nutrition and a hearty taste is the perfect soup to cook and enjoy this winter.

    It is an instant pot soup recipe which can be cooked in a pressure cooker too.  It is gluten-free and suitable for the vegan diet if you skip the cheddar cheese.

    Soup season is here already! With a slight nip in November air at our home soup season is slowly picking up at least. To tell you the truth like so many other families these days our winter dinner is mostly endless bowls of soup and hot buttered salads or grilled cheese. I feel nothing warms the belly the way soup does.

    A healthy and delicious winter soup meal is a modified version of minestrone soup but with more power packed in terms of nutrition and taste. The soup recipe which I am sharing today is our all-time favorite minestrone soup. In fact, a modified version of classic minestrone soup made with quinoa. For making it whole I added more protein in form of chickpeas. Chickpeas and quinoa in the soup make it very filling and add lots of nourishment in fiber and proteins along with micronutrients.

    INSTANT POT QUINOA AND CHICKPEAS MINESTRONE SOUP-incredibly easy quinoa soup in electric pressure cooker. It is a gluten-free, low GI, Made from scratch homemade quinoa soup hearty, flavourful Soup & tastes almost like a luscious minestrone soup Its healthy, gluten free, can be made vegan and simple! Easy, fast dinner. via @mytastycurry

    Forget about healthy, the soup packs a lot of flavor from herbs and jalapeños. Chickpeas Quinoa adds a nice bite and interesting texture to the soup which makes it our favorite. I think this winter this one is going to top our list of soups for winter dinners. Making it in the electric pressure cooker makes it super easy, just dump all your ingredients for soup in instant pot and a delicious bowl of Veggie and quinoa soup is ready.

    Veggie and Quinoa soup with power packed nutrition and hearty taste is perfect soup to cook and enjoy this winter. It is an instant pot soup recipe which can be cooked in pressure cooker too. It is gluten free and suitable for vegan diet if you skip the cheddar cheese.

    If you don’t have an instant pot you can simply make it in a pressure cooker. In my case, I am really obsessed with instant pot these days. During my latest travel trip I acquired a couple of them and with my slow cooker, I think my winter meals will be taken care of.

    Those of you who still have not heard about instant pot this is one appliance that has taken almost whole USA by storm. I too was blown away by the functionality and practicality of the instant pot for Everyday Indian cooking (more about that in later post)

      Your recipe doesn't say how much water to add or to add broth. How much water do you add, enough to cover the vegetables? or do you also use broth?
