Instant Pot Vegetable Broth is a super easy to make!  Plus it’s a great way to use your instant pot for veggie broth from scraps.  Don’t waste your vegetable scraps anymore!

I love using the Instant Pot Vegetable Broth when cooking my dried beans!  Talk about a game changer in the taste, not to mention I just feel great not wasting my veggie scraps.  I hate throwing away and wasting food!!!!

Instant Pot Vegetable Broth

Vegetables that have great scraps for making veggie broth: carrots, celery, onions, tomatoes, bell peppers etc.  Store these scraps in a ziploc in the freezer…and toss in your scraps throughout the week.

Some veggies don’t taste well in the Vegetable broth i.e. leafy greens, broccoli/cauliflower.
