Pressure Cooker Beef Vegetable Soup

Pressure Cooker Beef Vegetable Soup

Growing up, my mom used to make the best beef-vegetable soup. She didn’t make it often but, for some reason, I have very fond memories of eating it. So this pressure cooker beef vegetable soup is my attempt to recreate that memory from my childhood. There’s nothing fancy about it, but there is a richness and depth of flavor that I think will do my mom proud – which is every son’s goal, right?

Time to Get Creative!

The best part about this pressure cooker beef vegetable soup is that you can literally use whatever vegetables you like. There are really no rules, and they will all probably work. The only ones I would say are a must are onions, carrots, and celery – also know as mirepoix, the base of SO MANY recipes all around the world. So, if you don’t like mushrooms, leave ’em out! Switch ’em out! You can’t go wrong.

The Process

Season beef with salt and pepper.

Using sauté setting – once hot add 2 tablespoons of oil and thoroughly brown beef. Do this in two batches and do not stir too frequently. After the first batch, add 1 tablespoon of oil.

Do not wipe or rinse bottom of pot! There’s so much flavor in there!

Continuing on sauté setting – add onions, carrots, garlic, celery, mushrooms, thyme, Worcestershire sauce and bay leaves.

Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, making sure to scrape up any bits on bottom.

Then, return beef to pot and add all remaining ingredients (you can really add whatever vegetables you prefer) and mix well. Lock lid and cook for 10 minutes at high pressure.

Once cook time is complete, allow pressure to release naturally (will take about 25 minutes).

And This is the Amazing Result…
