And it couldn’t be easier to make! In fact, instead of making the original recipe in our 6 quart Instant Pot, sometimes we will pull out our 8 quart Instant Pot Duo and make a double batch!

This way we can enjoy the hearty soup and have leftovers for later. We will either eat the leftovers over the next few days, or freeze it for a quick meal in the future.

Vegetable Beef Soup is truly is a comfort meal that many of us make, however, this time we are making it even easier by cooking it in the Instant Pot.

How to Make Instant Pot Vegetable Beef Soup

The first step in making Vegetable Beef Soup is to brown your stew meat. Set the Instant Pot to the Saute mode. Once the display reads HOT, add the oil and brown the meat on each side, working in batches if necessary.

Then remove the meat from the pot and set aside. Keeping the juices inside the liner, add the onions, celery and carrots and saute for approximately 5 minutes.

Next, add in the Italian seasoning and heat until fragrant (1 minute). Now press CANCEL and stir in one cup of the beef stock. Be sure to deglaze the bottom of the pot to remove any brown bits.

Once the bottom of the Instant Pot is clear, add the vegetables, salt, pepper and a bay leaf and stir.

Next, lock the lid in place and move the valve in the SEALING position. Pressure Cook/Manual on HIGH pressure for 8 minutes.

If you are looking to make this recipe low-carb, use turnips instead of potatoes.

However, please note: Because the pot is filled with a lot of liquid, it will take quite a bit of time to come to pressure. When we used our 6 quart Instant Pot Duo for this recipe, it took 22 minutes before the cooking time began.

Then, after the cook time is up, allow for the pot to performa a Natural Pressure Release for 25 minutes. However, if the pin has not yet dropped, release the remaining pressure after 25 minutes.

The pot will look rather full once you add the shredded cabbage. However, it will shrink down considerably during the cooking process.

Carefully remove the lid and remove the bay leaf. If desired, season with additional salt and pepper.

Serve immediately. And as we stated before, this Instant Pot Vegetable Beef soup stores well in the freezer. However, be sure that you allow it to cool completely. We like to store all of our Soup Recipes in quart size, rectangular Take-Along containers.
