The amazing Instant Pot produces another delicious dinner, this one is an Instant Pot Hamburger Soup. This soup reminds me of one my mom would make as I was growing up. However, she used something called “soup Starter”.
Soup starter was a product the included dried vegetables, powder for stock and pasta. You would add water and whatever meat the soup starter was geared for. My favorite was vegetable beef.
This Instant Pot version is similar but uses frozen vegetables and fresh potatoes. You use red or Yukon gold potatoes. That way it isn’t necessary to peel them. There is even canned diced tomatoes in there too.
The base it self is beef broth, tomato sauce, and spices. The beef used is ground beef. Last, don’t forget about the pasta. I use elbow macaroni.
