Steak and Potato Soup–an easy Instant Pot or slow cooker soup with beef, potatoes, mushrooms and carrots in a savory, creamy broth.

Steak and Potato Soup
This steak soup with potatoes and mushrooms is souper yummy 😉 The addition of dijon and steak sauce just adds an extra depth of flavor that you’re going to love. If you’re a meat lover add an extra half pound of beef. I found my beef at Winco on sale, it was labeled as carne asada meat and it came sliced fairly thin. It turned out so tender! I browned mine first for some extra flavor. Enjoy!

Notes/Tips
- Serve with crusty bread or dinner rolls.
- If your beef is thin-sliced (like carne asada), it will be extra tender, no need to cut it too small.
- Always temper the cream with hot soup before adding it to avoid curdling.
- This recipe can be gluten free if you use gluten-free steak sauce.
- I used my 6 quart Instant Pot*. You can also make this in a 4 or 8 quart pot.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can freeze this soup, but for best texture, freeze it before adding the cream. Add the cream after reheating.
- Other recipes you can make with dijon mustard are Instant Pot Coca Cola Chicken and Instant Pot Polish Casserole.
