How do you make vegetable soup from scratch? Even though most grocery stores sell ready-made soup in cans or containers, making your own ground beef vegetable soup at home really is the best option for a variety of reasons.
You can use the cleanest ingredients which are best for your health. For the same price of one small store-bought soup, you can double or even triple the portion. You can freeze any leftovers to pop out of the freezer on a busy day.
Using an Instant Pot or pressure cooker makes the cooking process so much easier. You can have your ground beef stew ready in no time without having to slave away over the stove!

A favorite! I have made this many times over the last couple of years - I add celery and use crushed tomatoes, and honestly, I just eyeball the seasonings. Always tastes great 🙂
Jeannette says
I am very very new to cooking with an instant pot, so I appreciate your tips here a lot. I hope you have more recipes. I used vegetables and seasonings I had on hand.
Thank you.

Love this soup and so easy! How much protein is in a serving?
Thanks,
Jo
Roche Woodworth says
Hi Jo, the protein count per serving is 6g. I’ve also updated the recipe card to show this - not sure why that wasn’t displaying correctly.
Stahli says
We are making this tonight and it smells so good! The only complaint I have so far (and it's not just this recipe), it says it makes 6 servings.....what is a serving?
Roche Woodworth says
Hi Stahli, a serving is approximately 1.5 - 2 cups worth of this soup - it is sometimes a bit hard to judge, because we’ve got kids and they eat smaller portions, and even adult portion size vary a lot from person to person. So, this is a guesstimate at the average portion size. Hope you enjoyed the recipe!

So easy and delicious!! Perfect for weeknights and I have plenty of leftovers:D
Tracy says
I want to try this, but I am not sure what you mean by "2 canned tomato". Is that diced? Stewed? Tomato sauce? And what size can?
There are many options out there, and I don't know which you intend for this recipe. Thanks.
Roche Woodworth says
Hi Tracy - I’m so sorry about the confusion. It’s canned DICED tomatoes, and the can size we used is 14oz/400g. Hope that clears it up:) I’ll update the recipe card asap to include this information as well. Thanks!
