There is nothing more comforting on a cold winter night than a simple bowl of hamburger soup. Simple because it has a simple, soothing flavor and simple basic ingredients.
It is very quick to make, especially if you use an Instant Pot. Yes, it can be made on the stovetop, but the Instant Pot makes the job so much quicker and easier.
Hamburger Soup Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef (preferably grass-fed if available) – ground turkey work great as well
- 2 large carrots, chopped
- 1 small onion, chopped finely
- 3 small potatoes, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 3 cups beef broth OR 3 teaspoons beef bullion and 3 cups water
- 1 cup frozen beans, cut into 1-inch pieces (optional)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 can stewed chopped tomatoes
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
Instructions
1- Chop potatoes, celery, carrots into uniform 1/2 – 1 inch pieces.
One of my favorite kitchen gadgets is this veggie chopper. I use it all the time for cutting up vegetables when I make soups, and salads. It saves so much time and saves your fingers! I tend to cut my fingers a lot when I am chopping up veggies. Especially when they are small pieces. This little gadget works like a charm! I have gone through several different kinds, and this one seems to be a good one. It has very high ratings on Amazon and I have been very pleased with it.
The chopper I featured in the video below is another brand. It didn’t end up holding up so great. It cracked after a short time. However, you will get an idea of how these choppers work.
2- Choose “Saute” on the Instant Pot
3- Add ground meat and chopped onion to the pot
***If you are using ground turkey or very lean ground beef, you may need to add a little olive oil or avocado oil to the pan.
Saute the meat until it is cooked all the way through.
5- Add the rest of the ingredients
Give it a stir. Place the lid on the pot and flip the valve away from you to pressure.
6- Turn off the Instant Pot and press the “manual” button on high pressure
Adjust time to 5 minutes.
Cooking time ends up being about 15 minutes.
7- When the beeper sounds, flip the valve to release pressure.
8- Open the lid and serve.
