• 2 Stalks of celery sliced: The celery adds extra nutrition, flavor and texture to the soup.
• 1/2 cup onion sliced: We use white onion , but red or yellow work just as good. If you want to experiment, you can even try spring or purple onion.
• 2 tbsp olive oil: Olive oil is a healthy oil and it adds a delicious flavor to the dish.
• 2 Cups vegetable broth: Vegetable broth keeps this recipe vegan friendly and adds a great hearty flavor to the soup.

How To Cook Beetroot Soup In The Instant Pot

Add your chopped and diced beetroot to the instant pot. Pour in the vegetable stock and add lemon juice before locking the instant pot lid.

Next pressure cook your instant pot beetroot soup on high pressure for 14 minutes. This is enough time to break down the fiberous beetroot.
