It’s a super easy set and forget type meal that’s hearty, filling, and always hits the spot on a chilly winter day. The best part about any soup is that you can easily customize the veggies with what you like or have on hand – so feel free to change things up.

WHAT KIND OF PASTA DO YOU USE IN MINESTRONE SOUP?
For this recipe, we use dry pasta shells that get cooked directly in the pressure cooker to make this an easy one-pot meal. Our favorite one to use here is elbow pasta.
