Notes
Instant Pot Hamburger Soup
This recipe can easily be made in an Instant Pot or pressure cooker. Switch to the Saute function and heat the insert of the Instant Pot. Add the olive oil, onion, carrots, and celery and sauté button until softened; about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the ground beef and garlic. Continue to cook until the beef has browned. Turn the saute function off and stir in the beef broth, canned tomatoes, chopped tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Lock the lid in place and set the valve to "sealing." Select "manual" and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. Once cooked, quickly release the pressure.Nutrition
