This vegetable beef soup with cabbage is a great Instant Pot recipe for cleaning out veggies from your fridge. In my recipes, I use whatever ingredients happen to be in my fridge, but you can easily substitute and add cauliflower, celery, zucchini, etc. Make sure you have at least a 6-quart pressure cooker.
