How to Make Stuffed Pepper Soup in the Instant Pot
Grab your Instant Pot, and let's get cooking this delicious bell pepper soup! Here’s the step-by-step guide to creating this cozy bowl of goodness:
Sauté Your Aromatics
Hit the "Sauté" button on your Instant Pot and add the butter and olive oil. Toss in the chopped onion and cook until it turns golden brown. Trust me—this step makes your kitchen smell amazing already!
Brown the Meat
Add the ground sirloin, breaking it apart and cooking until it's fully browned. No pink here! Then toss in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Load in the Flavor
Turn off the "Sauté" setting and throw in the diced tomatoes, stewed tomatoes, tomato paste, and rice. Add the chopped green, red, yellow, and orange peppers. Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, sweet basil, oregano, garlic salt, seasoned salt, seasoned pepper, and brown sugar. Give everything a big stir.
Add Liquids
Pour in the chicken broth and water. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen up any browned bits—this step keeps everything from sticking or burning. (Pro tip: this is where the extra flavor hides!)
Pressure Cook
Securely lock the Instant Pot lid and set the pressure valve to "SEALING". Press "Manual" and set the timer for 10 minutes. That’s it! Your Instant Pot does all the hard work from here.
Quick Release and Stir
Once the timer beeps, carefully do a quick release by turning the pressure valve from "SEALING" to "VENTING". When the float valve drops, open the lid and give your soup a good stir.
Serve and Enjoy!
Scoop the soup into bowls, pair it with a slice of crusty bread or some buttery crackers, and dig in!
Pro Tips for Perfecting Your Soup
- Customizable Protein: Swap the ground sirloin for ground turkey, chicken, or a plant-based alternative for a lighter or vegetarian option.
- Spice It Up: Love a kick? Add red pepper flakes or cayenne for some heat.
