Instant Pot Vegetable Beef Soup

Who else grew up eating Campbells? (We upgraded to Progresso later. Still have a soft-spot for that hearty tomato soup) My mom would add a bit of this and a bit of that making them heartier and delicious.

My Instant Pot Vegetable Beef Soup reminds me of those canned tomato-y vegetable beef soups from my youth but without the sneaky wheat additives and packed with more flavor from a bit of this and bit of that, just like mom.

This recipe is best in the instant pot, but Ive included tips to make it slow-cooker friendly as well!

Quick, simple and so delicious. This soup comes together quickly and with minimal prep, making use of pre-chopped frozen veg. Paleo, Primal, Keto-friendly.
