Ingredients

• onion – a flavorful ingredient that goes well in almost any soup.
• stew beef – you can also use hamburger meat if you prefer.
• stewed tomatoes – these tomatoes are larger and softer than typical diced tomatoes and add a lot to this soup!
• Italian parsley – for a classic Italian flavor.
• basil – pairs well with the parsley.
• beef broth – this goes best with the beef already in the soup, but vegetable broth would also work.
• water
• peppercorns – for extra flavor and warmth.
• pasta – rotini or macaroni work great for this soup!
• cheese and herbs – for topping.

Instructions

1. In the instant pot add in the chopped onions and stewing beef, and give a good stir.

   

2. Add the stewed tomatoes and stir them in. Then add in the basil and parsley.

   

3. Start adding the remaining ingredients by first adding the beef broth and water. Then add the pepper and stir well. No salt is needed as the tomatoes should have all the salt needed.

   

4. Place the lid onto the instant pot. Set the valve to sealed position. Press pressure cook or manual button and set timer to 30 minutes. Once the instant pot stops counting and beeps release the pressure.
5. While the soup is cooking, make the pasta on the stove top as per directions on box. Drain and add to the soup. Stir and you’re ready to serve.
6. Serve in a bowl topped with grated Parmesan cheese and more chopped fresh parsley. Serve alongside a green salad; add a hearty loaf of bread and you’ve got a complete meal!
