Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 1 pound (454 g) ground beef
  • 1/2 yellow onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon (2 g) Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon (2 g) onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon (6 g) salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) black pepper
  • 4 cups (946 ml) chicken broth
  • 3 bell peppers diced
  • 1 can chopped tomatoes 15 ounces
  • 1 can tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup (93 g) long-grain white rice

Instructions
 

  • Turn the Instant Pot on to saute mode. When hot, add the ground beef. Cook and crumble until browned. Add the onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt and pepper. Stir and saute until softened, about 3 minutes. Turn off saute mode.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and deglaze the bottom of the pan to remove the browned bits.
  • Layer on the bell peppers, chopped tomatoes, and tomato paste. Pour the rice evenly on top of it all and make sure all the rice is submerged, but do not stir.
  • Secure the lid and set the vent to sealing (if necessary for your model).
  • Set to cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. When the time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for about 5 minutes, then carefully remove the lid.
  • Stir and serve.

Notes

  • When the recipe tells you to layer the ingredients into the Instant Pot and not to stir, follow those directions.
  • Chop the bell peppers into like sized pieces. The nice thing about this soup is that if you cut the peppers to about the size of a nickel the peppers will cook but not get mushy so they still have some chew to them.
  • If your ground beef has a high fat content you will want to drain the fat before you add the onion, garlic, and seasonings.
  • Add some red pepper flakes for a little bit of spice.
