For a thicker soup, mash some of the vegetables with a potato masher or immersion blender before serving. Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of balsamic vinegar at the end for a brighter flavor. Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preferences and what's in season. Mushrooms, kale, or spinach would be great additions. For a richer flavor, sauté the onions, carrots, and celery in a little olive oil before adding them to the Instant Pot.
