Instant Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup (OMG!)
Introduction
Few meals deliver comfort and heartiness quite like a bowl of Instant Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup. This recipe transforms classic St. Patrick’s Day flavors into an everyday staple that’s not only easy to prepare but also delightfully robust. With the help of a pressure cooker, you can enjoy all the traditional tenderness and taste—without hours of simmering.
This soup is a crowd-pleaser, boasting melt-in-your-mouth corned beef, tender potatoes, sweet carrots, and buttery cabbage in a deeply flavorful broth. It’s perfect for feeding a hungry family or making leftovers to warm up on a chilly day.
Why This Instant Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup Stands Out
What makes this soup extraordinary is the combination of convenience and depth of flavor. Using the Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker, 6 Quart not only slashes traditional cook times but also infuses the broth with savory notes in a fraction of the usual time.
The addition of carrots, potatoes, and cabbage creates a balanced meal in one pot. Every spoonful is loaded with color, texture, and nutrition.
Ingredients Prep Made Effortless
A big flavor payoff doesn’t mean you need to spend extra time prepping. Quickly dice your potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion with equal-sized cuts for even cooking using the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper. It simplifies veggie prep and saves precious minutes—especially when handling a large batch.
Once your ingredients are ready, the soup comes together quickly, freeing you up to focus on other dishes or simply relax while dinner cooks itself.
Instructions for Flavorful Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup
The secret to intense flavor lies in pressure cooking. Layer vegetables at the bottom, place the brisket on top, and allow the Instant Pot to work its magic. The result is a rich, savory broth with perfectly cooked beef that shreds at the touch of a fork.
Use the Chicken Shredder Tool Twist for Kitchen to make shredding the hot corned beef quick and safe, ensuring even pieces for every bowl.
How to Serve and Store Your Soup
Ladle the soup into your favorite bowls and enjoy it simply, or pair it with rustic bread for soaking up the flavorful broth. Allow leftovers to cool before transferring them to Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup). They’re airtight and spill-proof, making it easy to store and reheat another day.
This soup also travels well in a Bentgo Salad Container – 54 oz Bowl—perfect for work lunches or meal prep.
Nutrition and Yield
This recipe yields 6 generous servings. Each bowl is packed with protein, vitamins, and minerals, and is naturally gluten-free (verify with your corned beef brand if concerned). Depending on ingredients and garnishes, each serving provides approximately 350–400 calories.
