    Tips

    • If you use lean ground beef, there shouldn't be any need to drain it. If you don't use lean ground beef, you may need to drain the grease.
    • It's important not to stir once the tomatoes are added. Tomatoes can cause a burn message if stirred in.
    • I like to season after cooking because the seasoning can lose some of its potency during cooking.
    • I serve the soup with an extra sprinkle of black pepper and a bit of fresh parsley on top.
    • This soup goes well with crusty bread or herb breads.

    Storage

    Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The soup will keep for up to 4 days when properly stored in the fridge.

      I am not a cook. Actually I only recently started cooking after getting an instant pot a few months ago. I came across this recipe looking for a quick easy dish to make with my beef. It came out excellent. Thank you for this recipe!

          Just a question....
          Using lean ground beef, shouldn't one put a tsp of olive oil in the Instapot first?

            Oil can help to keep the ground beef from sticking and can help promote browning. I haven't found either sticking or browning to be an issue, so I don't use oil, but you certainly can if you prefer.
