  • 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. Enjoy!
