I made this hearty soup the other day when I was searching for something to make for dinner. We were having a chilly week and it just felt like a soup day.  So Hearty Hamburger Soup was created.

My mom would make hamburger soup all the time and she would usually make her recipe version with items that were in the fridge. That’s what I love about this recipe. You really don’t have to follow it. Except for the basics.

Instant Pot Version:

Cook the beef, onions, and garlic on the Saute setting until done. Turn Saute setting off. Add other ingredients and cook on the Manual setting for 15 minutes. Let the pressure release by itself or manually before you remove the lid. Serve!

Did you know you can also use your Instant Pot as a slow cooker? Just get the Instant Pot Glass Top and use the Slow Cook setting.

I usually add a bit of cheddar cheese on top and that makes it Cheeseburger Soup. Kids will love this quick and easy soup.  Serve with grilled cheese and they will love you forever!!

  19. Tammy, I have been a beef stew lover when it comes to my slow cooker. However, this hamburger soup could easily become a favorite! Looks yummy. Pinned it 🙂

  35. This looks so yummy, Tammy! Thanks for the giveaway. I’m in desperate need of a new one :). My favorite soup to make in the crockpot is chicken and dumplings. There is nothing like starting something in the morning and getting to smell it all day. I love how it is ready at the exact time I’m usually dreading that it’s time to start dinner.

  42. I would make Southwestern Style Chili first, love it and thanks for this giveaway! I haven’t owned a crock pot or slow cooker in years so this would be awesome to win!
