Instant Pot Pasta Fagioli Soup is a classic comforting Italian soup packed with healthy vegetables, beans and pasta. It’s one of our favorite Instant Pot pressure cooker dinner recipes!
Instant Pot Pasta Fagioli Soup comes out perfectly cooked in the pressure cooker. I’m a big fan of my Instant Pot. It’s such a time saver and has so many functions that makes it one of my most used appliances in the kitchen.
Instant Pot Pasta Fagioli Soup
I can eat soup year round. It’s great in the summer with fresh vegetables straight out of the garden. It’s great served with a tossed salad and crusty bread or bread sticks.
Soup and salad is one of my favorite combinations to order for lunch when we get to dine out. Especially at Olive Garden. I love their Pasta Fagioli Soup and that is what inspired this Instant Pot Pasta Fagioli Soup recipe.
During the Fall and Winter months I cook soup at least one a week. It’s an easy meal and we usually have leftovers for lunch the next day which is a huge bonus for me!
