Can I Use My Instant Pot As A Soup Pot?
Since the Instant Pot liner has tall sides and holds a large amount of liquid, it is great to use as a soup pot. The combination of easy, quick cooking, and functionality makes Instant Pot soups one of the most popular types of recipes you can make in your electric pressure cooker.
What Does The Soup Setting On The Instant Pot Do?
The soup setting on the Instant Pot cooks things under high pressure just like the “high pressure” setting, but it is preprogrammed to cook for 30 minutes. It brings the liquid contents of the Instant Pot to a slow simmer for the duration of the cooking time. This is different than the traditional high pressure function that has a customizable time and brings the liquid to a boil quickly. For this recipe, I do not use the soup setting because the vegetables we are using in this Instant Pot Vegetable Soup recipe do not need a long cook time and the meat is precooked using the saute function of your Instant Pot before cooking under pressure.

How To Make Instant Pot Vegetable Soup
Variations
Make it vegetarian. Looking to make this vegetable soup recipe meatless? Just leave out the ground beef and swap the broth with vegetable broth. The flavor of the broth and the veggies makes this soup delectable even without the ground beef. Swap out the veggies. Vegetables can be a very divisive topic. A veggie one person adores, another can’t stand. So, feel free to swap out or omit any of the vegetables in this recipe. Just be mindful that heartier vegetables retain their texture better than leafy vegetables when cooked under pressure. Try a low carb option. If you’re wanting a low carb Instant Pot Vegetable Soup, you can customize this to fit the bill as well. All you need to do is swap out the assortment of veggies for a low carb friendly variety (think cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, kale) or reduce the amount of starchy vegetables that are high in carbs. Don’t worry, you can leave in the green beans. They’re already low in net carbs.
