Best Pasta Paneer Soup – Instant pot
Pasta Paneer soup is a quick wholesome one pot soup that is perfect for a cold night, which is made of pasta, paneer(Indian cheese). If desired Paneer can be substituted with Tofu or meat.
Pasta Paneer soup is a perfect balance of flavors and nutrition filled with protein and healthy fats . It can be made under 30 mins and makes a perfect meal or a side dish. I guarantee even picky kids will eat it.
This soup I limited my vegetables but you can more vegetables if you wish. Also I think you can incorporate meat like chicken if you wish in this soup instead of paneer but cooking times and method might slightly vary.
This soup came out so good that we gobbled down the entire soup in 20 minutes 😀 I promise you this will be one of the best pasta soup you will ever have.

I have limited the spice as I wanted it to be comforting and I want this soup to be kid friendly as well. so please adjust the spice level to your taste. You can serve this soup with some garlic bread or croutons. We enjoyed the soup just as is and simply loved it.
I hope you try this soup and love it as much as I do. 🙂
