Instant Pot Hamburger Soup

4.7
(108)

Easy and delicious soup with a nice thickness. You can make it in the Instant Pot or on the stovetop. When this cools, it will be very thick, but it thins out when reheated. Freezes very well.

Cook’s Note

If you're making it on the stovetop, brown the ground beef and onion together, then add the remaining ingredients, cover, and simmer for at least 2 hours.
