Instant Pot Ground Beef & Vegetable Soup
One of our favorite meals to make in the colder months is Nana’s Ground Beef & Vegetable Soup with a Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Absolutely SOUL warming from the inside out.
Soup is one of those things that really needs to cook for a long time to get the flavor just right. So being able to cook it in the pressure cooker, super fast AND being able to brown the meat in the same pot first, is absolutely wonderful! This soup was to die for good, as usual AND ready so much faster!!!
The first time I made it, I made our full recipe and I was DANGEROUSLY close to the max fill line: Ok, I was ON the max fill line. 😉
It worked with no problems but it scared me a little. So the second time, I halved the recipe and that’s what I will use from now on. The original just makes a TON. So the recipe below is our HALVED version that fits perfectly in the instant pot without going anywhere near that max fill line 😉
I hope you all enjoy this as much as we do!
