I finally made the leap during Black Friday and bought an instant pot electric pressure cooker. Since then, I have been experimenting with all different kinds of instant pot recipes, including instant pot pot roast, instant pot pasta, instant pot meat sauce and instant pot soup recipes.

Update: My second favorite appliance is my air fryer! Try our recipes for air fryer bacon and air fryer chicken wings.

I’ve tried my hand at making instant pot cheesecake and instant pot banana bread! When I landed on this pressure cooker vegetable beef soup recipe, I knew I needed to share it with you. 

Tips for making pressure cooker vegetable beef soup

• This recipe calls for a bag of frozen vegetables. You can also use fresh vegetables if that’s what you have on hand.
• I like to stock up on beef when the prices are low and store the extras in my freezer (If you’ve been reading my blog for long, you know I love stocking my freezer). You can purchase a whole roast for this soup recipe and cut it into chunks or purchase the pre-cut stew beef. I like to buy whichever is more affordable at the time.
• To defrost: For the best quality, thaw your roasts in the refrigerator. If you are running short on time, try one of these other safe methods for defrosting meat.
  
• For a creamier soup (like our favorite instant pot butternut squash soup), mix in leftover instant pot mashed potatoes (like I do in this recipe for hamburger soup) along with beef broth and vegetables. It adds another delicious layer of flavor while using up something you may otherwise waste.

Why I love making vegetable beef soup in the instant pot

One of the things I love about making this vegetable beef soup in my instant pot electric pressure cooker is I can brown the meat in the same pot. Not only does this save me from cleaning up more than one pan, but it saves me time, too.

I just brown my beef chunks, add in my other ingredients, push a button, and walk away! As a busy mom of three kids, I need all of the time I can get away from my kitchen doing other things – like spending time with my family or working on my blog.

I also love that my instant pot electric pressure cooker does most of the work for me. Once all of the ingredients are put together, I don’t have to come back to stir my vegetable beef soup.

I don’t need to taste-test it to make sure it’s done. Cooking under pressure means my soup is going to be ready lightning fast.

If you do find yourself with extra time and don’t mind being in the kitchen, then you may want to try your hand at making 30-minute dinner rolls or fast and easy biscuits to pair with your soup.

If you can plan ahead then you could even serve it in homemade bread bowls.
