How do you make Instant Pot vegan taco soup?

This recipe is so easy to make, you’re going to love it.

First, chop the onions, garlic, and pepper.

Then, you are going to add 1/4 cup vegetable stock to your instant pot. Turn on the saute method. 

Once hot, add in the onions and pepper and cook about 3 minutes until soft.  Add in the garlic and vegan meatless crumbles (or mushrooms) and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Turn off the saute method.

Add all the remaining ingredients, including the rest of the quart of vegetable stock. Stir together gently. 

Put your instant pot lid onto the body and close the lid.  Make sure that the pressure valve is sealed. 

Then, press manual and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes. When the time goes off, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes, then release via Quick Release.  *If you are not sure about this, please read your manual. 

Serve with any optional toppings.

*see recipe card below for additional details on cooking in the slow cooker or on the stove.

Can I prep this vegan taco soup ahead of time?

Once made, let cool completely.  You can store it in an air tight container in the fridge for up to a week or you can put into freezer bags and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Is this Vegan Taco Soup Top 8 Allergen Friendly?

The only ingredients that you need to be mindful of for allergens are the beefless crumbles and the taco seasoning. 

Sometimes taco seasoning has added dairy or gluten, so ensure that the one you pick up is indeed vegan and gluten free. (We liked the one from Trader Joe’s)

Most beefless crumbles are made from gluten. So you should pick one that does not contain gluten, like Beyond crumbles that are made with pea protein. You also have the option to completely omit the beefless crumbles.
