Ground Beef Potato Soup–tender potatoes, savory beef, herbs, and vegetables in a slurpable broth. Make it in the Instant Pot or slow cooker.
Ground Beef Potato Soup
This soup recipe is simple but delicious! The broth is so yummy and the ground beef, potatoes and veggies make it feel like home. I had browned ground beef on hand so mine came together so quickly! I love it when that happens. For the Instant Pot make sure to bring the broth to a boil before adding in the potatoes and veggies. This will ensure that the pot comes to pressure quickly and the potatoes and veggies won’t get overdone.
