Hamburger Soup

Ingredients

• 1/2 TBS olive oil
• 1/2 medium onion chopped
• 2 sticks celery chopped
• 1 pound extra lean (95% lean) ground beef
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 2 heaping tablespoons tomato paste
• 5-6 cups beef or vegetable broth
• 2 large potatoes diced
• 2 carrots, diced
• 1 TBS Italian seasoning
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 1-2 c cooked small pasta

Instructions

 

• Add the olive oil, onion, and celery to your Instant Pot. Press the sauté button and cook for 4 minutes.
• Stir in the beef and garlic. Cook until the beef has browned, stirring occasionally (about 5 minutes). You shouldn't need to drain much fat if you're using extra lean ground beef, but feel free to drain some/most of it if desired. 
• Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, potatoes, and Italian seasoning. 
• Close the lid, make sure the valve is on "sealing", press the "manual" button and cook on high pressure for 7 minutes. 
• Once the countdown has finished, carefully do a quick pressure release.
• Season with salt & pepper, add pasta and serve immediately.
