Easy Instant Pot Pasta Ground Beef Fagioli Soup
A Home Cooked Meal In 30 Minutes?!
As a result the last thing I have time for is a home cooked meal! But I hate to deny the family of a yummy meal just because life is super hectic. I will tell you, buying our Instant Pot has been the biggest blessing! So I can tyically make a meal from “scratch” in about 30 minutes. One of our favorite meals is soup with some crusty bakery bread. I just don’t have time to cook it on the stove for a few hours to get the flavors right.
The Instant Pot To The Rescue!
With our Instant Pot, we can make our favorite soups in just half an hour! Sp,we made this Instant Pot Pasta Ground Beef Fagioli Soup a few nights ago and it was a huge hit! While my sister and I were working, we browned the meat, added the other ingredients, hit a button and BAM! dinner was cooking lightening fast! I was surprised at how flavorful it was! You would swear it had simmered on the stove top for several hours instead of in the Instant Pot for 30 minutes!

July 19, 2018 at 9:29 amI have wanted an Instant Pot and an Air Fryer for some time. I just have to justify the cost for only two of us and both retired. It is not like I don’t have a lot of time. But I don’t want to use it cooking too. Your soup looks so good. I am rethinking buying it again.

July 19, 2018 at 7:18 pmI don’t have one yet but I want one. Good to know more about them before I buy. Now I know at least one good recipe. That looks so good.

July 21, 2018 at 6:40 pmI made this and it was delicious. I don’t have a instant pot so I just used my crock pot. It seemed to work just fine. Took a little longer. Thanks for the recipe.
