Instant Pot vegetable beef soup is hearty and flavorful. Filled with chunky beef stew meat, garbanzo beans, and healthy vegetables. This instant pot vegetable beef soup makes for tender chunks of meat and perfectly cooked vegetables.
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: meats, pastas, and soups. When I landed on this pressure cooker vegetable beef soup recipe, I knew I needed to share it with you.
This recipe is especially exciting because, this season, beef retail prices are down nearly 10 percent from the highest prices in late 2014, making it easier on your wallet. This is great news as we plan for holiday meals!
You can expect to be seeing lower prices at the meat case in your grocery retailer. Take advantage of these prices as you shop for roasts, steaks and ground beef this season. The Beef Checkoff, the leading authority on all things beef, shares expert tips on how to get the best deals on beef this holiday season and every day.
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 recipe and cut it into chunks or purchase the pre-cut stew beef. I like to buy whichever is more affordable at the time.
For best quality, thaw steaks and roasts in the refrigerator—never at room temperature—and be sure to place the frozen package on a plate or tray to catch any escaping juices during the thawing process. Check out these refrigerator and freezer storage guidelines to ensure maximum quality.

So funny I was just telling my husband that I wanted to make a beef stew in our instant pot!! Good timing!
We are totally on the same wavelength. Enjoy!
Hi Aileen! I’m also new to the wonderful world of IP cooking. Any idea how to accommodate fresh veggies? Boil a bit longer ? I have all this on hand, so I may just throw this in tomorrow!
Thanks!!!
Hi Meggles! Fresh veggies will work the same. Just throw them in for the last few minutes with the pasta. Even heartier veggies like broccoli should cook in 5 minutes or so at the end. Enjoy that Instant Pot!
What size of IP did you use for this recipe?
Hi Rose! I have a 6 Quart Instant Pot.
