Instructions

Step 1

Add all of your chopped veggies to the Instant Pot and stir until well-mixed.

Step 2

Add half of your vegetable broth, ranch dressing, Franks Red Hot, and the dried spices and stir again to mix all ingredients.

Step 3

Then, add more vegetable broth until your chopped veggie ingredients are covered in liquid. You may not need all 64 oz noted above, but it will be close.

Step 4

Seal the Instant Pot and set it to “Pressure Cook” on high pressure for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Release the steam when your cook cycle is complete. Before serving, add salt to taste.

Step 6

For each serving, add a small handful of spinach to the hot soup and stir it in. It will wilt nicely and add a bit more nutrition and sustenance to your meal. Note: you can easily omit if trying to lower the phe in this recipe.

Step 7

Top with chopped scallions and a drizzle of dairy-free ranch to serve.

To add protein for an easy family meal:

Step 8

Simply cut two chicken breasts in half and add them to the soup before sealing your Instant Pot to cook.

Step 9

Remove the chicken before seasoning the soup with salt and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Add chicken to each serving of soup for those diners (without PKU) who need more protein.
