Instant Pot stuffed pepper soup is easy to make in the Instant Pot and made without a lot of ingredients. Perfect for soup season!
Soup season is officially in full swing, and it’s one of my favorite times of year. Making soup in the Instant Pot is one of my favorite ways to make soup. Not only does it cook in record time, it also makes the soup taste like it’s been cooking for hours.
If you are a lover of stuffed peppers, then you’ll want to give this soup a try. It’s loaded with many of the same ingredients, but in soup form!
What do I serve with stuffed pepper soup?
My favorite side to eat with most soups is bread. A side salad or roasted vegetables are options for a healthier side dish.

Please Note
The Instant Pot needs to come to pressure before the cooking time starts, similar to an oven that needs to preheat. The cooking time doesn’t actually start until pressure builds, which can take anywhere from 5-15 minutes, sometimes longer depending on how full the pot is and how much liquid there is inside. Once it reaches pressure the Instant Pot will beep, and the cook time will begin to count down. Please, make sure to consider that extra time when planning your meal.

How would I adjust for unthawed (still frozen) ground beef?

Hi Kelly, the ground beef is cooked first on the sauté mode, so I would just make sure it's cooked though before locking the lid and starting the pressure cooker.
