Instructions
- Select the Sauté setting on your Instant Pot and heat the oil. Add the cut celery and onions and brown just a bit.
- Sir in the tomatoes and the ground beef, taking a minute to make sure the meat is broken down into small bits and pieces.
- Set the cabbage aside until the end of the cooking phase. Then mix in everything else aside from the bay and basil leaves, place those on top.
- Cancel the Sauté mode and select manual or pressure cook on High pressure for 9 minutes.
- When the Instant Pot finishes the pressurized cooking and beeps, allow it to rest and natural pressure release for just 2-3 minutes before carefully releasing the rest of the pressure.
- When you remove the lid everything should be perfectly soft, give the soup a good stir, this will help break down the carrots and potatoes, then mix in the cabbage and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Spoon into your favorite bowls and top with a little cheese.
