Easy Weeknight Instant Pot Beef Macaroni Soup
My three year old is picky, he turns his nose up if something even slightly smells different to him. I was shocked to see him gobble all this up and ask for seconds. We did sprinkle a little sharp cheese on top for him to entice him, and it worked. If you too have a picky eater, they might like this recipe.
Use elbow macaroni was a home run because this kid can’t pass up a good mac and cheese! Thankfully he is a meat eater so the bites of beef throughout kept him wanting more.
Tips for Beef Macaroni Soup Recipe
- Ground Beef | Make sure that you drain off any excess grease that the beef makes when cooking it up. If you have too much grease it can make the whole soup kind of taste greasy. I leave just a little in for flavor, but the rest I do go ahead and drain it. I also love using a ground meat chopper
, it helps make the ground beef nice and even on chunks.
- Beef Broth | I reach for a full strength beef broth and skip the lower sodium. I find regular beef broth mixed with the Worcestershire sauce gives this soup such depth. You can use homemade broth if you have it on hand!
- Add-Ons | If you want to top your soup here are a few items we sometimes will reach for. Sharp cheddar cheese, fresh jalapeno slices for heat, or even a dollop of sour cream.
