Instant Pot Greek Stuffed Pepper Soup

Peppers, rice and ground beef come together in this simple, one-pot Greek Stuffed Pepper Soup made easily in the Instant Pot.

When the triple digit temps start to drop into the upper 90’s here in Phoenix, the first thing I find myself doing is breaking out the soups.

Loaded potato soup... pumpkin chipotle soup, even chicken noodle soup – they’re all easy and comforting. Not to mention they are easy to double so you can freeze some for later. Or, jar up the extra and drop off with a friend or church member who is needing help with meals.

Instant Pot Greek Stuffed Pepper Soup

Just a few short days ago, I jarred up this Instant Pot Greek Stuffed Pepper Soup as part of a Meal Train.  I added a bag of tossed salad and a loaf of French bread and it made an easy meal train for not just one but two families at church.  It’s always awesome when you can make something that everyone loves – even the kids (because we all know how picky they can sometimes be!)

Lets talk about this soup in detail though – because it really is a one pot wonder that comes together quickly.

To get started, sautée the onion and ground beef. Then carefully add the garlic, oregano and basil leaves. Give it a quick stir, then dump in the stewed tomatoes, rice, and beef broth and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. Allow the pressure cooker to release naturally for 15 minutes. While it releases, the rice will continue to cook.

Love your soup a little less thick?

Feel free to add an additional cup of beef broth to thin out the soup. A handful of pepperoncini peppers are a great way to add some extra zing to your soup!

Equipment

• Instant Pot

Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp olive oil

• 1 lb ground beef
• 32 oz stewed tomatoes (3 cans)
• 2 Tbsp garlic adjustable to taste
• 1 white onion diced
• 2 bell peppers green, diced

Instructions

• Turn instant pot to saute mode. Add in onion and ground beef. Cook until ground beef is browned. Add in garlic, oregano, and basil leaves.
• Add in diced bell pepper and three cans of stewed tomatoes. Add one cup of uncooked rice. Stir well. Pour in beef broth. Place lid on the pot. Set the valve to sealed position.
