Really Fast But Tastes Like It Simmered All Day

This Instant Pot Beef Noodle Soup delivers all the comfort of a pot that’s simmered all day — in a fraction of the time. Tender beef, rich broth, and hearty noodles make it the kind of soup you crave on cold days, without spending hours at the stove.

The Instant Pot does the heavy lifting, tenderizing the beef quickly and building deep flavor. The noodles are added at the end, as in stovetop soup, for optimal texture and results. Homemade Instant Pot Beef Noodle Soup is amazing. Tender beef. Yummy noodles.

Soup season is upon us! What an easy way to make it in one easy-to-clean pot! You can reheat any leftovers right in the Instant Pot! Everyone knows soup tastes even better the next day! And raise your hand if you're in favor of fewer dishes to wash!! Me! Me!

If you like hearty soup like this one, I bet you'd like my old-fashioned Split Pea and Ham Soup, too. It is a stovetop recipe.

Boneless beef ribs, as I use in this recipe, are an excellent value because there is so little waste. The flavor is outstanding. Here's another wonderful way to use them: Boneless Beef Ribs in Under an Hour.

This recipe is perfect when you want a hearty soup with deep, rich flavor, but you don't have all day to babysit it!

I used my new favorite cut of meat, boneless beef ribs, in this recipe. My brother told me about boneless beef ribs, sometimes called country-style beef ribs, and now I am a huge fan!

The meat is flavorful and super tender when cooked in an Instant Pot. Additionally, it's cost-effective because it's boneless and yields almost no waste.

I was late to the Instant Pot party, but I've known the magic of pressure cooking for years. I was a child bride, but even before that, I was a child cook!

My young husband gave me a pressure cooker on our first Christmas together! What a romantic, right? But you know what? I loved it and used it for years until the handles broke off, and the parts were no longer available! I still have an old stove-top pressure cooker that I use to cook crisp-tender fresh green beans in minutes.

You'll Love Making Instant Pot Beef Noodle Soup

Today's Instant Pot is ingenious. The electric pressure cooker combines multiple functions into one handy, safe, and easy-to-clean device. Devotees affectionately call this amazing gadget their "IP." This is definitely a small appliance worth owning.

First, the sauté function quickly browns the meat. That is a critical step toward achieving a beautiful, rich broth, which, without question, makes great soup great.

So, that's where a rich, hearty broth begins. Season and brown the beef, and don't overcrowd the pot. The meat needs to sear and brown, not steam. Don't hurry this step.

Remove the meat and set it aside while you add the bouillon, garlic, soy sauce, and water. Stir to loosen all the browned bits (the goodies!) from the bottom of the pot. Return the beef to the pot and pressure-cook for about 40 minutes on high pressure.

While the beef is cooking, slice some celery and carrots to add to the soup and chop some onion, too!

The beef will look like this when it's done. Tender, juicy, awesome. Look at the gorgeous soup base the bouillon and soy sauce make when added to the nicely browned beef!

Next, shred the beef and set it aside while you make the rest of the soup.

Reset the Instant Pot to saute and add water. When it comes to a boil, add the vegetables and noodles. Adjust the sauté setting to a gentle simmer and cook until the vegetables and noodles are tender.

Return the shredded beef to the pot and adjust the seasonings to taste. You might want to add a bit more bouillon, but taste it first!

Add salt and pepper to taste, if you like, and add some parsley! There's something about parsley that makes everything taste better. I call it green magic!
