Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Italian Wedding Soup Easy Version.
Step 1
Begin by assembling all the essential ingredients for your delightful soup.
Step 2
Set your Instant Pot to the Sauté function and drizzle in the olive oil, allowing it to heat up until shimmering.
Step 3
Toss in the chopped carrots, sliced celery, and diced red onion, sautéing for about 4 to 5 minutes while stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and release their natural sweetness.
Step 4
Season this aromatic mixture with dried parsley, dried basil, and a sprinkle of ground black pepper.
Step 5
Pour in the rich chicken broth and gently add the Italian meatballs, letting the flavors meld together.
Step 6
Secure the lid of the Instant Pot, ensuring the valve is closed.
Step 7
Select the Soup function and set the timer for 3 minutes, allowing 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build.
Step 8
When the timer signals the end, carefully perform a quick-release of the pressure, which should take around 5 minutes.
Step 9
Once the lid is unlocked and removed, stir in the pastina pasta, then replace the lid.
Step 10
Close the valve again and select the Soup function, setting the timer for another 3 minutes, with an additional 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build once more.
Step 11
After the timer goes off, repeat the quick-release process, taking about 5 minutes.
Step 12
With the lid removed, fold in the baby spinach and let it rest for about 5 minutes, allowing the spinach to wilt and the pasta to reach perfect tenderness.
Step 13
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt as desired.
Step 14
Finally, ladle the comforting soup into bowls and crown each serving with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, transforming your meal into a warm, inviting experience.
Step 15
Enjoy every spoonful of this hearty creation!.
