Hearty and Delicious Instant Pot Vegetable Beef Soup made using ground beef. It's good for you and ready in less than 30 minutes!
Instant Pot Vegetable Beef Soup
Soup is one of my favorite things to make in my Instant Pot for the very reason it tastes as if it had been simmering on the stove all day long. The vegetables come out so wonderful and the flavors in the soup are amazing.
This beef and vegetable soup is made using both fresh and canned or frozen vegetables.

The potatoes, carrots, and celery are fresh while the corn is canned as well as the green beans.
The peas are frozen, mainly so that they don't turn to mush under pressure.
Instant Pot Freezer Meal
Freezer meals are a plus when preparing meals throughout the week or even month! They're also perfect for when you make a large batch and have leftovers.
This soup easily feeds at least 6 people and it's perfect to freeze. To freeze this vegetable beef soup, make sure to allow it cool completely.

Once it has completely cooled, fill either a freezer bag and make it a cylinder shape for easy reheat in the pressure cooker, or, place the cooled soup in a container such as these that naturally hold the shape of the Instant Pot.
Vegetable Beef Soup
Stew meat can easily be substituted for the ground beef in this recipe and following these directions will keep the same fast pressure cooking time!
Trim any fat and cut the stew meat into bite-sized pieces before adding them to the pot. This will ensure the meat will be done with the short pressure cooking time.
Add the beef and onions to the liner as you would the ground beef. Simply sear all sides of the beef and then press cancel on the pot once they are all browned. Add the other remaining ingredients as direction in the recipe and you're ready to cook!
It's really that simple!
