Notes

Instant Pot Instructions:

Hamburger soup can be made in your instant pot! Use the saute function on your instant pot instead of a soup pot. Follow instructions up to step 3. Set the instant pot on manual HIGH pressure for 10 minutes and do a quick or manual release once finished. Adjust seasonings and serve hot.

Recipe Tips and Tricks:

To add fat content to your soup, use a ground beef of 80-85% lean meat.
Add shredded cheddar cheese before serving to make a delicious cheeseburger soup.
To make a creamy keto hamburger soup, add in 4 oz of cream cheese after soup is cooked. Stir until cream cheese is dissolved.
