Vegetable Beef Soup

Step 1

Season the beef with salt and pepper. On a 6 quart Instant Pot®, select the Saute setting. Heat the oil and add the beef and cook until well browned, stirring occasionally. Add the tomato paste and cook and stir for 2 minutes (cooking the tomato paste will enhance the flavor). Press Cancel.

Step 2

Add the broth, carrots, potato, green beans, ditalini and thyme. Lock the lid and close the pressure release valve. Pressure cook on High pressure, setting the timer to 8 minutes(timer will begin counting down once pressure is reached- it takes about 10 minutes). When done, press Cancel and use the quick release method to release the pressure.

Step 3

Stir in the peas. Season to taste and sprinkle with the parsley before serving.
