I always encourage everyone to use fresh vegetables but everyone in our family has loved this soup with frozen veggies too.

How to make Instant Pot Vegetable Beef Soup from scratch
- Turn on Instant Pot (or multicooker) and select the “sauté” function and add the olive oil.
- Saute onion until it becomes almost translucent and then add garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Stir in ground beef and cook until golden brown. Strain any extra fat from the beef and discard. If it’s more convenient for you, do this step separately on a pan and then add to the instant pot.
- Add in the beef or vegetable stock, tomato paste, and stir until all the ingredients covered and combined in the liquid. Turn off the sauté function.
- Add in the crushed tomatoes, vegetables, diced potatoes, and fresh parsley.
- Close the lid and choose the Soup setting and set the timer for 10 minutes. For Multicooker choose Soup setting and 30 minutes.
- When the cooking is complete, allow the lid to naturally release. Taste the soup for salt and pepper, add more fresh parsley and your Instant Pot Vegetable Soup is ready to be served with warm ciabatta on the side.
What can i add to my vegetable beef soup for flavor
- Like I already mentioned, I love to add parsley as my go to fresh herbs. Another great choice is to use dried or frozen herbs like thyme, basil and oregano.
- Any mixed seasoning selection (e.g. Italian seasoning) will also enhance the flavor of the beef soup.
- Sour cream or yogurt for individual servings.
- Make it hot - add chili powder or chili flakes for spicy flavor.
What are the best vegetables to put in the vegetable beef soup?
- Cauliflower
- Broccoli
- Regular or sweet potatoes
- Green beans
- Fresh greens: Kale, collard greens, chard, or spinach
How do you thicken a vegetable beef soup?
There are few ways, the easiest way is to add some flour priorly mixed with water and then added to the soup. But I prefer adding either brown rice, lentils, macaroni. Just make sure to add them as your very last step in the cooking process.
