Instant Pot Hamburger Soup is an easy and fast instant pot dinner recipe, that only cooks for 4 minutes! This is a healthy soup recipe that is full of veggies and protein and can be easily put together on a busy weeknight.
Healthy Instant Pot Soup
I can always use a few more veggies in my diet, especially in the winter when all I want to eat is carbs and cheese. Right!?
This is a healthier instant pot soup that you can add to your dinner rotation. It is full of veggies and protein, and if you use lean ground beef (90/10) it is even healthier.
Leftovers also make an amazing lunch.
Make Ahead Instant Pot Dinner
This recipe is so easy that you really do not need to make it ahead. But, I will say that it gets even more flavorful with time, just like chili.
But, there are weeks where it’s hard to get an “easy” dinner on the table, I know from experience. So this is a great soup to throw together on the weekend and pop in the fridge for those crazy busy nights. It would also make a great lunch to take to work, or put in a thermos to send to school with your kids.
Instant Pot
I love my Instant Pot and the pot I use and recommend is the Instant Pot Duo Plus 60 6 quart 9-in-1, the main reason I love this pot is because of the size, 6 quart. I don’t think I will ever get around to using all 9 features, but they are there if I need them.
For this reason I also recommend the Instant Pot 6 quart 7-in-1, it’s a little less expensive, and it still gives you the 6 quart size.
How to Make Instant Pot Hamburger Soup
Are you ready for this…
You will only be setting the Instant Pot for 4 minutes, just like this Sweet Potato Quinoa Chili and Creamy Potato Soup. I love a fast and easy dinner recipe!
First, set your Instant Pot to sauté mode and soften the onions and garlic in the olive oil for about 3 minutes.
Now add the ground beef and slightly brown the beef for about 5 minutes. Drain as much of the fat and grease as you can from the pot before moving on.
Turn the sauté mode off and add the Worcestershire sauce, potatoes, salt, pepper, optional rosemary, beef base, tomato paste and beef broth. Give it a stir to “melt” the beef base and tomato paste into the broth.
Pop the lid on and make sure that the pressure valve is set to “seal”. Set the Instant Pot to manual pressure mode, on high, for 4 minutes. Only 4 minutes!!!
Do a quick release of the pressure.
Next, add the diced tomatoes and mixed frozen vegetables. Give the soup a few good stirs to combine everything.
The heat of the pot will thaw the frozen vegetables. I love adding the veggies last because they keep a little bit of their crunch, and cool the incredibly hot soup just a tad.
Serving
Since this soup already has a ton of veggies and protein we don’t always add a side dish. But some nice crusty ciabatta warmed in the oven would go great with this soup!

The cooking instructions can’t be correct. AFTER cooking the meat, onions potatoes and broth, add a can of tomatoes and frozen veggies and let sit for 5 minutes and it’s done??
Susie Weinrich says
I think you skipped the part where you pressure cook for 4 minutes. Did you make the recipe?
Elizabeth says
Love this soup. I often serve it with rice. He’s become a staple in our home, and it’s so easy.
Luke Susie says
Yummy
SCV says
This was really tasty and have made it a few times since I found your recipe. 🙂
have you ever tried baking soda to cut down on the acidity and bite of the tomatoes I have many times and it does, and it’s better for you than sugar. I’m a diabetic.
Susie Weinrich says
What a great tip! I will definitely try that.
Elizabeth says
How much baking soda did you add in stead of sugar and at what point in the recipe did you add it? My husband is also diabetic.
Denise says
Added this to our favorites list a few years ago. When I ask my husband for dinner suggestions for the upcoming week while I’m making my grocery list, this gets mentioned frequently. Super quick & easy and tastes amazing. I usually serve it with garlic toast and omit or reduce sugar for Type 2 diabetes

Susie Luke says
Reminds me a lot of my mama’s hamburger soup. It was the best warming comfort food.
AJ says
Good & easy
Carrie maguire says
I made this tonight and it was super easy and super yummy. I didn’t have beef base, beef broth, nor the spice. So i added instead thyme, chx base, and 1 cup of water plus 1T soy sauce as a substitute for the beef broth. It was still so yummy!
Susie says
That’s awesome- way to improvise!
