Today is just a day that calls for soup. It’s been snowing all morning here and I really don’t want to leave the house.
If you’re trying to get away from the creamy soups and perhaps eat a little lighter this Instant Pot vegetable beef soup is a great choice. It fills you up and satisfies without a ton of calories.
I just ate some of the leftovers for lunch and it was even better the next day. Now I’m wishing I would have doubled the recipe!
This recipe can easily be made gluten free. And you can use ground beef or ground turkey…it’s up to you. If you have a bag of frozen veggies throw them in too. It’s a really versatile recipe.

What Pressure Cooker Did You Use?
To make Instant Pot Vegetable Beef Soup I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. I love this Instant Pot because it has the yogurt making function which I use almost weekly. It has two pressure settings (high and low), and there are also little slots in the handles so that you can rest the lid there instead of putting it down on your counter-top. You can also make this in an 8 quart pot (no changes) or in a 3 quart pot (halve the ingredients, keep the same cooking time).

An easy, healthy and delicious soup with ground beef (or turkey) and vegetables. A perfect soup to make on a winter day. The leftovers are a great lunch the next day too!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds lean ground beef or turkey
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp oregano
- 2 ½ cups beef broth
- 1 (14.5 oz) can crushed or diced tomatoes
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 medium Russet potatoes, washed and cut into cubes
- 3 ribs of celery, cut into ¼ inch slices
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into ¼ inch slices
- 3 Tbsp tomato paste
Instructions
- Turn your Instant Pot to the saute setting. When the display says HOT add in the ground beef (or turkey) and break it up*. Add in the onion. Add in the salt, garlic powder, pepper, parsley and oregano. Stir in the spices. Brown the beef. If there is any excess grease spoon it off or drain it with a colander.
- Pour in the broth and scrape the bottom of the pot. Add in the tomatoes, bay leaf, potatoes, celery, carrots and tomato paste.
- Cover the pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the soup button to 4 minutes (or the manual/pressure cook button). When the time is up let the pot sit for 10 minutes and then move the valve to venting. Remove the lid.
- Salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and serve.
Notes
Option: Instead of adding carrots into the pot initially could add in a bag of frozen mixed veggies after the soup has pressure cooked. The hot liquid will cook the frozen veggies in just a few minutes. You can use the saute setting to cook them even quicker.
To make this gluten free: Double check your beef broth to be sure it is gluten free. Swanson’s Organic Beef Broth says gluten free and no msg right on the front of the box. Most tomato pastes are gluten free but check the can just in case.

This was amazing!! It had the depth of flavor of a slow-simmering soup. My only changes- I subbed in Italian turkey sausage from Whole Foods that I kept in good sized chunks and I used beef better than buillion instead of broth. Otherwise, followed the recipe exactly and it was great!! A new fall fave for sure! Next time I might try adding some barley instead of potato to bulk it up a bit.

I love your ideas!
I just purchased the 3 qt instant pot duo. Have not used it yet
Would you please write recipes for the 3 qt pot? Especially for your soup recipes.
Thank you
Most of my recipe you can just halve and then keep the same cooking time. Here is something that might help you: https://www.365daysofcrockpot.com/how-to-halve-instant-pot-recipes/
Made this tonight. Sooo good. I only had one pound of ground turkey but it was plenty. Added about a cup of frozen corn after it cooked and just let I sit for about 10 minutes. Excellent!
Sounds awesome!

Thanks Joanne!
This was good. Added the celery leaves along with the celery. Only used 1/2 pound each of ground beef and ground turkey. Used 1/2 tsp. salt. Left out the potatoes and used 1/3 cup pearled barley. Topped with parmesan cheese.

You’re welcome Susan!
Do you stir in the tomatoes and paste? I’ve had trouble with tomato-based things wanting to light the button “burn” – or does the beef broth take are of that? Thanks in advance!
It worked for me when I stirred it. I think because there was plenty of broth.
Hello Karen, thanks for this Delicious recipe:) I didn’t change a thing and it was great! Not sure why people comment on the recipe when they don’t make the recipe you give. Love everything you share. Enjoy the day:))
Glad you tried it and liked it! Thanks for sharing!
Could u use tomato sauce instead of paste? I dont have any paste
You could but it won’t give it as much tomato flavor. But I bet it will still be tasty.
What about using frozen ground beef?
is it browned?
I might add more canned tomatoes or water for the barley to absorb. Or use less barley, 1/3 cup.
I love reading your recipes daily. What I use instead of potatoes, is 3/4 cup barley. Thank you you for sharing your recipes with us.

oh yeah, that’s true. good point.
GREAT idea. I really love barley and don’t use it enough.
I really enjoyed this soup. I only used 1 pound of lean ground beef and still thought there was plenty of meat.
Thanks for sharing. Yum Yum
