This instant pot vegetable beef soup is a delicious hearty soup that is perfect for cold nights. It is full of tender chunks of beef and flavorful vegetables and cooks quickly in the Instant pot.
I love making soups in the instant pot! It is a great way to get big flavor without cooking all day! This instant pot beef vegetable soup is great for busy days because it comes together quickly and everyone loves it! You can easily prep the meat and veggies for this soup ahead of time so that putting it together is a breeze. This homemade vegetable beef soup is a family favorite that is simple, hearty and super quick! Cooking in the instant pot results in tender beef and a depth of flavor that usually takes hours on the stove top or in a slow cooker!
Absolutely! The great thing about this vegetable beef soup recipe is that it is super versatile. You can use your favorite vegetables or any fresh vegetables you have on hand that you want to use. Some of our favorites to add are green beans, sweet potatoes or even corn. This is an easy recipe to personalize and make exactly how you would like it! You can use fresh vegetables for this recipe or you can grab frozen vegetables that are already chopped and ready to go.
The best cuts of beef for soup or stew are those that have a lot of connective tissue and collagen, which breaks down during the cooking process and gives the soup or stew a rich and hearty flavor. These cuts are typically less expensive than other cuts of beef, but they are perfect for pressure cooking because it helps tenderize the meat.
A great choice for this recipe is stew beef. I like to use it because you can purchase it pre-cut in the grocery store so it makes it super easy to use. Beef stew meat is great for busy weeknights when you want to throw together this soup quickly and easily
Another great option is a chuck roast. The best part of using a roast is that you can chop your cubes of beef to whatever size you'd like them. Chuck roast gets nice and tender as it cooks in the instant pot so it is a great cut of beef to use.
I like to use Yukon gold potatoes because they tend to hold their shape as the soup cooks. Another great option is fingerling potatoes, they also hold their shape well and don't require as much chopping. Both Yukon gold and fingerling have thin skin so you don't have to peel them if you don't want too. Another great option is red skin potatoes, they also hold their shape well and have a thinner skin. Russet potatoes tend to be softer and break down as they cook, while they are delicious in this soup the chunks will be softer and dissolve a bit.
This is a great heaty comforting soup that is great on it's own but is also great served with other family favorites for the perfect meal. I like to serve with a delicious crusty bread like an Italian or French bread. I love to make these Air Fryer Garlic Knots to serve with this soup, they are so quick and easy. It is also great alongside a side salad or even served over mashed potatoes, rice or noodles.
