How to turn this into a freezer meal:
Cook the ground beef and onion and place in a resealable gallon-sized freezer bag or other freezer-safe container. Dump in the remaining ingredients EXCEPT FOR THE BROTH into the bag. Let the bag cool down (if still hot from the cooked ground beef). Place in the freezer for up to 90 days. When ready to eat, remove frozen soup from the bag (if it won’t come out, run the bag under hot water so that you can remove/peel off the frozen bag). Place the frozen soup into your Instant Pot (if it froze in a shape that won’t fit into your Instant Pot, you may need to defrost it for a few minutes or break it into pieces to make it fit). Add 2 cups beef broth your Instant Pot. Place the lid on the top of the Instant Pot. Move the valve to SEALING (not venting). Press the MANUAL (or PRESSURE COOK) button and set timer for 14 minutes. When the timer is finished, let the soup do a natural release (this will take about 20 minutes). Serve and enjoy!Nutrition
