Vegan Vegetable Soups:

Vegan, vegetable-based soups are a snap to make in the Instant Pot. You literally just need your favorite veggie along with some broth. Once your soup is cooked, I recommend using an immersion blender to smooth out the texture of the soup. You can always add some cashew cream to give your vegan soup a wonderful dairy-free creaminess.
