Instant Pot Vegetable Beef Soup is delicious and hearty soup using fresh, frozen, and even canned ingredients that is made in a little over an hours time. This soup is both gluten and dairy free and is high in protein and lower in carbs. This beef soup makes for a hearty lunch or dinner on a cold day.
I absolutely LOVE soup. All year round you’ll find me making soup. I’ve officially dedicated Monday night dinners as “soup” night thanks to my friend. She also makes soup for dinner on Monday nights. I think it should be a new “thing”. I love my Instant Pot Beef & Barley Soup recipe, but also love a good vegetable beef soup recipe. Unlike my beef and barley recipe that uses leftover beef this recipe for Instant Pot Vegetable Beef Soup uses fresh stewed beef and a wide variety of both fresh, frozen, and even canned vegetables.
Bonus: This vegetable beef soup recipe is a hit with my kids. Even my son who is on the picky side when it comes to vegetables will gobble this beef soup right up.

– Sanduko Knife
– Wooden Spoon
– Silicone Soup Ladle
I’ve had a lot of friends ask how I make soup in my Instant Pot. In case you didn’t realize it, there is a “soup”setting on the Instant Pot. It magically knows it’s full of liquid and will bring it to pressure at the rate soup needs to be cooked. The best part of the soup setting is that it takes a little over an hour to make a soup that tastes like it’s been simmer for hours on the stove top. Your house will smell like it too!
Some days for dinner I’ll serve soup on its own. Other days I like to add a side dish, salad, or even a crusty bread. Here are a few of my favorite recipes. I love to make my marinated tomato and onion salad to serve with this recipe as well as my harvest salad, strawberry feta spinach salad, and bread like buttermilk biscuits or sweet honey cornbread.
Tips & Tricks
Here are a few of my favorite tips and tricks I’ve learned when making Instant Pot beef soup.
- Broth – 64 oz. of broth equals 2 32 oz. cartons of broth.
- Instant Pot Pressure –
- The Instant Pot will take about 20-30 minutes to get to pressure before the timer begins to count down.
- In a hurry? You can carefully do a quick release pressure at the 20 minute resting mark if you are in a hurry.
- Always use a towel to place over the valve before forcing pressure. This will prevent soup liquids from bubbling up.
- Stove top – Don’t own an Instant Pot but would like to make this on the stove top. Follow steps 1-5 just as you would cook it on the stove top–cooking on medium heat. Then bring the soup up to a boil and reduce to a simmer–simmer for at least 1 hour until meat is tender. Add additional time if necessary. Season and serve.
