recipe for Instant Pot Vegetable Beef Soup:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 2 carrots, sliced
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 1 cup green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
• 2 teaspoons dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Set your Instant Pot to “Saute” mode. Add the vegetable oil and brown the beef stew meat in batches until well-seared. Remove the meat and set it aside.
2. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Saute for 2-3 minutes until the onion is softened.
3. Add the beef broth, diced tomatoes (with juice), carrots, celery, green beans, corn, peas, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to the Instant Pot. Stir to combine.
4. Return the browned beef to the pot.
5. Close the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to the “Sealing” position. Select the “Soup” or “Manual” setting and set the cooking time to 15 minutes at high pressure.
6. Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for about 10 minutes. After that, carefully release any remaining pressure.
7. Open the lid and give the soup a good stir. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
8. Serve the vegetable beef soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
