Instant Pot Hearty Veggie Soup
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound beef stew meat
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1/3 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 large carrot, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper to taste
  • 6 cups chicken bone broth (such as Kettle and Fire)
  • 1 (28 ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes
  • 1 (14 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup gluten-free ditalini pasta
  • 1 pinch kosher salt to taste
  • 1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Instructions
1
Begin by heating oil in a versatile kitchen appliance designed for pressure cooking, such as the Instant Pot, on its Sauté function. Add sliced beef and chopped onion; cook until the surface of the beef is no longer pink, approximately 4 minutes. Introduce a variety of green vegetables, including beans, celery, carrots, and garlic, along with dried oregano, basil leaves, and black pepper; mix well.
2
Next, add a liquid base consisting of broth, crushed tomatoes, and diced tomatoes to the pressure cooker; combine ingredients thoroughly. Set the Instant Pot to its Soup setting, secure the lid tightly, and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for pressure cooking. Set the timer according to the product's instructions, with a recommended duration of 35 minutes.
3
Allow about 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build up within the cooker. To release the pressure, use the quick-release method as instructed by the manufacturer, approximately 5 minutes. Once the pressure has been released, carefully remove the lid from the Instant Pot.
4
Add kidney beans and pasta to the cooked soup; stir gently. Activate the Slow Cook function on your Instant Pot, following its guidelines for cooking time until all vegetables and pasta are tender, approximately 10 minutes. Season the soup with salt to taste.
5
Serve the prepared soup into bowls and top it off with grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh basil leaves.
