Instant Pot Olive Garden Minestrone Soup is amazing! It’s tastes just like the restaurant version! It’s truly amazing!
Growing up in an Italian household, my mom would make a batch of Minestrone soup, every week. In an Italian household, it’s made with whatever vegetables are left in the refrigerator at the end of the week.
Today, I am attempting to make a copycat version of the extremely popular Olive Garden Minestrone Soup. It is a really simple soup to make, and a family favorite. My kids really love it. and it’s a filling meal. I usually serve it with a salad.
This is a vegetarian soup, so if you eat vegetarian or have guests coming over that are, this is a perfect food to serve.
This is a perfect dump soup!!
