Ingredients
- ½ pound ground beef
- ½ pound Italian Sausage mild or spicy, your choice
- 1 small vidalia onion chopped
- 2 large carrots peeled and chopped
- 2 stalks celery chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1 can 16 ounces tomato sauce
- 1 can ounces diced tomatoes
- 1 can ounces red kidney beans, drained
- 1 can ounces Great Northern Beans, drained
- 1 cup 8 ounces Ditalini pasta, uncooked
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 parmesan rind optional
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional and to taste
- freshly grated Parmesan for serving optional
Instructions
- Heat the Instant Pot using the Saute-High function. Add the ground beef and Italian sausage and cook. Use your meat chopper to break up the meat as it browns.
- Once the meat is broken up well, add the onion, carrots, celery, garlic and Italian seasoning and stir to combine. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Next, add the chicken stock, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, red kidney beans, great northern beans, Ditalini pasta, Parmesan rind, and red pepper flakes. Attach the lid and ensure the valve is in the “sealing” position. Set the timer for 4 minutes.
- When the Instant Pot has finished cooking, carefully release the pressure manually by switching the valve to the “venting” position. Be careful-- it will steam and may splatter!
- Season the soup with salt and pepper, to taste.
- OPTIONAL - Serve with freshly grated Parmesan.
- This soup can be kept warm using the “Keep Warm” Function on the Instant Pot for up to one hour. Store any leftover soup in the refrigerator for up to three days.
