Instructions
Set your Instant Pot to the Saute function and add the ground beef and onions. Cook for 3-5 minutes, breaking into pieces, until the beef is browned and no longer pink.
Add the garlic and cook for an additional 30-60 seconds, stirring. Drain grease if necessary.
Clear the Saute setting. Add the remaining ingredients to the cooked ground beef and stir to combine them all.
Place the lid on top of your Instant Pot and seal the vent. Press Pressure Cook and set the time to cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
Allow the cooker to do a natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then do a quick release to release the remaining pressure.
Ladle soup into bowls. Top with shredded Parmesan cheese, if desired.
