Pressure Cooker Vegetable Beef Soup Recipes

PRESSURE COOKER VEGETABLE AND BEEF NECK SOUP

Steps:

• Cut the onion into medium to small pieces.
• Fry over medium heat in the pressure cooker until it starts to turn golden.
• Lay the beef neck flat in the base of the pressure cooker and add stock until it is just covered. Reserve the rest of the stock.
• While stock is heating, rinse and quarter the potatoes (leave the skin on) and add to the pressure cooker.
• Peel the carrot and cut in coins about 1/3 inch thick. If you carrot is exceptionally fat, cut the larger coins in half down their diameter. Add carrots to the pressure cooker.
• Add the barley to the pressure cooker, then add more stock to until meat and veggies are just covered. Reserve the remaining stock.
• Secure the pressure cooker lid and bring to temperature over high heat.
• Turn heat down until it just maintains pressure and cook for 1 hour. Turn off heat and allow 15 minutes of natural release.
• While meat, potatoes, carrots, onion, and barley are cooking, dice the tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, and celery into 1/2 inch cubes. Remove the stems from the spinach.
• After the 15 minutes of natural release, if still pressurized, run the whole pressure cooker under tap water to cool.
• When cooker loses pressure, open and remove the beef neck. Use a fork to take the meat off the bone, discard the bone and return the meat to the pot.
• Add the tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini and celery. Add more stock if required to just cover the veggies, but it's not likely that this will be necessary now that the bone is gone.
• Simmer with the lid off until zucchini is almost fork-tender (10 to 15 minutes, depending on how small the zucchini ended up). Then add the spinach and continue cooking until zucchini is fork-tender but not mushy.
• Serve immediately with whole-grain bread for dipping.

INSTANT POT VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP

Steps:

• Season beef with salt and pepper. Then, 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). Remove thyme bundle and bay leaves. Serve and enjoy!

PRESSURE COOKER BEEF BARLEY SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Add diced carrot, diced onion, and diced celery to pressure cooker and cook, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom, until lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Scrape vegetables into a heatproof bowl and set aside.
• Add stock, thyme, bay leaf, reserved beef and any accumulated juices, and barley to pressure cooker; the liquid should just cover all the other ingredients. Close cooker, bring to high pressure, and cook for 30 minutes. Release pressure using pressure release valve.

PRESSURE COOKER VEGETABLE BEEF SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Chop up beef into small cubes and pressure cook in three-four inches of water about 15 minutes.
• 2. Open pressure cooker when cooled, take a knife and wrap it in a wet paper towel. Take the wet towel/knife and wipe around the inside of the pressure cooker to remove the brown beef residue.
• 3. Open frozen vegetables and dump into the pressure cooker with the diced onions, celery and potatoes. (Some vegetable mixes have onion, celery and potatoes in them, but I like to add more!)
• 4. Pressure cook another 7 minutes. While it is cooking, boil spaghetti. Drain and after you open the pressure cooker, add the spaghetti. Pour in tomato juice. (I've used V-8 juice if I was out of tomato juice and I've used canned diced tomatoes, as well.) Salt & pepper to taste and serve. Best if served with friend cornbread patties or baked cornbread (not the sweet kind!)
• 5. This soup freezes beautifully. I freeze it in quart freezer bags and my husband can pull one out on any given day and have instant lunch!
