Instructions
Set the Instant Pot on ‘Sauté’ mode. Add olive oil and let the pot heat up for 2 minutes.
Add onions and sauté for 3 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the raw smell is gone.
Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute. Then add cubed potatoes and frozen mixed vegetables and mix well.
Next add can of diced tomatoes, followed by the dried herbs (oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, and salt and pepper).
Finally, add vegetable broth and give everything a good mix.
Hit Cancel to turn off "Saute" function. Close the lid and make sure the valve is set to “sealing”.
Set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook/Manual for 5 minutes. (NOTE: It took 10 minutes for my IP to come to pressure.)
Once the time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, and then carefully turn the valve to venting. Once the pin drops, carefully open the lid.
Taste for seasoning and salt or pepper to taste. Serve immediately with crusty bread.
Notes
Note 1: We used medley of carrots, green beans, peas and corn. You can use any frozen vegetable mix that you prefer or might have on hand.Note 2: If you like it spicy, add a 4 oz. can of green chili along with the diced tomatoes or add red pepper flakes while serving.
