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. Drain the fat from the beef if needed. Add to the pot.
Sprinkle in dried or fresh parsley to the simmering soup.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Remove the pot from the heat. Shred cheese and add to the pot.
Serve, and add your favorite toppings.

Make less dishes by reusing your pots. 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.

Add your favorite cheeseburger toppings to the soup. We like extra shredded cheese, crispy bacon, diced tomato, diced onion, green onions, pickles, avocado, and a dollop of homemade raw milk sour cream to make this soup extra thick and creamy. You could even add a drizzle of hot sauce if you prefer to add a little spice.
