Instant Pot Vegetable Beef Soup
Description
This Instant Pot Vegetable Beef Soup incorporates diced beef, fire-roasted tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, spinach, and corn simmered together under pressure for tenderness and flavor infusion. The broth gains depth from Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste, and pesto, contributing savory umami and herbal tones. Bay leaves, brown sugar, paprika, rosemary, and oregano enrich the flavor profile.
The soup’s texture balances hearty chunks of tender beef and vegetables with fresh spinach added at the end to maintain vibrancy. Cooking in the Instant Pot reduces the overall time while melding the ingredients' flavors in one pot.
Serve the soup hot as a main course or a filling starter. It can be accompanied by crusty bread or a green salad. The recipe is useful for meal prep as it stores well and reheats easily.

Instructions
- To cook in the Instant Pot:

- Dice onion into ¼-inch dice. Cut potatoes in quarters or bite-size pieces if using larger potatoes. Slice carrots into ¼-inch slices. Add onion, potatoes and carrots to Instant Pot.
- Add pesto, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy paste, bay leaves, brown sugar, oregano, rosemary, paprika, salt and pepper to mixture in the Instant Pot.
- Cut beef into ½-inch pieces, discarding excess fat. Add meat to pot with other ingredients and stir.
- Place lid on the instant Pot, make sure the vent nozzle is in the non-venting position, set to”pressure cook - high“ and set timer for 25 minutes.
- Carefully release steam manually using the valve on top. When pressure is completely released, remove the lid.
- Coarsely chop spinach. Add to hot soup and stir until slightly wilted.
- Add fresh chopped rosemary and corn. Stir to combine. Serve and enjoy!
To make soup in the oven:
- Preheat oven to 300˚F. Combine all ingredients (prep as instructed above) in a large Dutch oven. Bring to a boil on the stove top then cover and place in the oven for 4 ½-5 hours or until carrots and potatoes are very tender. When finished, remove from oven and add fresh rosemary and corn. Stir well. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Use lean stew beef or chuck roast trimmed of excess fat for the best balance of tenderness and flavor.
- Manually release the Instant Pot pressure carefully to avoid accidents and ensure doneness.
- Chop spinach coarsely and add just before serving to keep its color and texture bright and fresh.
