Sweet potatoes add nutrients and sweetness.

Gather a variety of vegetables including parsnip, carrot, cauliflower, cabbage, yellow pepper, celery, leek, and swede.

Chop the vegetables into manageable pieces and place them into the Instant Pot.

Prepare stock by dissolving 2 stock cubes in water, ensuring they are fully dissolved.

Pour the stock over the vegetables in the Instant Pot, ensuring they are just covered.

Close the Instant Pot lid and set it to cook for 35 minutes.

Wait for the Instant Pot to reach pressure; the silver indicator will pop up when it's ready.

Once the cooking time is complete, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for about 10 minutes.

Manually release any remaining steam by turning the valve, being cautious of the steam.

Open the lid of the Instant Pot once the pressure has fully released and the silver indicator has dropped down.

Check that the vegetables are cooked through and serve the stew with crusty artisan bread.
