Ingredients:

  • 1/2 head Green Cabbage, shredded (approx. 350g)
  • 3 medium Carrots, sliced into rounds (150g)
  • 2 stalks Celery, diced (80g)
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper, diced (120g)
  • 1 Yellow Onion, diced (150g)
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp Ground Turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
  • 6 cups low-sodium Vegetable Broth (1.4L)
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) Diced Tomatoes, no salt added
  • 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 2 cups Fresh Spinach or Kale

Instructions:

  1. Turn the Instant Pot to Sauté (Normal) mode. Add the diced onion, celery, and a splash of vegetable broth to prevent sticking. Note: Skipping the oil keeps this recipe as lean as possible while still softening the aromatics.
  2. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent and smelling sweet. Stir in the garlic, ginger, turmeric, and red pepper flakes, letting them bloom for 60 seconds. Note: Blooming the spices in the residual heat activates their essential oils.
  3. Layer the shredded cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, and diced tomatoes into the pot. Do not stir yet to ensure the delicate spices don't scorch on the bottom.
  4. Pour the remaining vegetable broth over the vegetables. Secure the lid and set the steam release valve to the Sealing position.
  5. Select Manual/Pressure Cook on High Pressure for 4 minutes. Expect about 10 minutes for the pot to come to full pressure.
  6. When the timer pings, perform a Quick Release by turning the valve to Venting. Wait for the pin to drop before opening the lid away from your face.
  7. Stir in the apple cider vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper. Add the fresh spinach or kale and stir until the greens are wilted and bright green.
  8. Taste the broth. If it feels too light, add an extra pinch of salt or a squeeze of lemon to sharpen the flavors. Serve hot in large bowls.
