Instant Pot Hamburger & Cabbage Soup

We had a produce box that was given to us and we wanted to find a way to use as much of as we could. The box was packed with everything from bok choy and potatoes, to organic North Shore ground beef and organic locally produced bone broth. As we were discussing what we wanted to make from it we were leaning towards some sort of soup so we could use up that bone broth. We ended up settling on a variation of a hamburger & cabbage soup were we used up the bok choy (chinese cabbage) that we were given. The recipe ended up working perfectly in that we didn’t need to run to the store for anything, and we got to use up a few other things we already had sitting around.

The local and fresh ingredients really helped to add extra flavor to this soup. The local ground beef was fresh, as was the bone broth. The bok choy was a neat improvisation on the cabbage, but it ended up a good choice. So much so, that I’ll probably end up substituting it again next time I decide to make this. The soup was good on it’s own, but I really enjoyed kicking it up a notch when I ate a bowl with some red pepper flakes and dash of Tabasco sauce.

Instant Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage

This was our first Saint Patrick’s day with our Instant Pot, so you know exactly what we had to do… Corned Beef and Cabbage! Why don’t people make this more often then just this one day a year for everyone’s favorite drinking holiday? Can you recall ever having a bad piece of corned beef? I mean maybe you got more fat and gristle in your brisket than you would have preferred, but never a bad one – no way.

This was a pretty easy to make recipe even though it’s a two part process. Cook the beef first. Then while it’s cooling, you cook the veggies. Combine them and serve with some of that cooking sauce. Enjoy your Guinnesses and eat and drink responsibly!
