# What You’ll Need:

→ Soup Ingredients

01 - 2 tbsp avocado oil
02 - 1 small onion, diced
03 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 1 lb ground beef
05 - 1 tsp sea salt
06 - 1 tsp ground black pepper
07 - 1 tsp dried oregano
08 - 3 carrots, chopped
09 - 3 stalks celery, chopped
10 - 5 cups chopped green cabbage (about 1/2 medium cabbage)
11 - 4 cups bone broth or beef broth
12 - 28 oz can diced tomatoes

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Turn the Instant Pot on to Sauté mode and add avocado oil. Once hot, add onion and garlic and cook, stirring for 5 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
02 - Add ground beef, sea salt, ground black pepper, and dried oregano to the Instant Pot. Sauté for 5 minutes until the beef is lightly browned.
03 - Add chopped carrots and celery and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes to slightly soften. Then, add chopped green cabbage, bone broth or beef broth, and diced tomatoes. Stir to combine.
04 - Turn off the Instant Pot, screw on the lid, and set the pressure valve to Sealing. Cook on Manual at high pressure for 15 minutes. Once cooked, let the pressure release naturally for 15-20 minutes until the lid opens easily.
05 - Season with additional salt if needed and serve hot.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Sautéing the vegetables and ground beef before pressure cooking enhances flavor and texture. This step can be skipped, though it is recommended for optimal results.
02 - This soup pairs well with crusty bread, cornbread, or as a starter to roasted chicken, beef, or pork chops.
