Ingredients

  • 5 large potatoes chopped
  • 5 carrots diced
  • 2 onions diced
  • 5 stalks celery diced
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 3 teaspoons salt
  • 2 pounds ground beef browned
  • 10 ounces cheddar cheese shredded
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • several grindings fresh black pepper

Instructions

  • If you are making homemade broth, start by making that in the Instant Pot.
  • In a large pot over medium heat, add a little olive oil, butter, or coconut oil.
  • Add onions and celery.
  • Sauté until soft, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add in garlic and cook for just a minute or two, being careful not to burn.
  • Add in carrots and potatoes.
  • Strain broth into the pot if using homemade, or just add in store-bought broth.
  • Allow it to simmer for about 20 minutes until the potatoes and carrots are soft.
  • Brown ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up into bite sized pieces, for a couple of minutes in a large skillet until cooked, and add to the pot.
  • Sprinkle in dried or fresh parsley to the simmering soup.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Shred cheese and add to the pot.
  • Serve, and add your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Make less dishes by reusing your pots/IP. I like to go straight from making a whole chicken in the Instant Pot, to making bone broth, and then straight to making soup.
  • Brown the ground beef before adding it to the pot for a much more delicious and flavorful meal.
  • Add some frozen peas or green beans to the hot soup to help cool it down enough while also cooking the veggies before serving.
  • Use a garlic mincer to get the garlic nice and tiny. No giant chunks of garlic makes the kids happier.
