Plant Based Recipe
Hey friends! Today we’re making one of my absolute favorite cozy fall and winter dinners — Instant Pot Vegan Hamburger Soup! This plant-based twist on a classic is warm, hearty, and perfect for busy weeknights. We’re using simple, budget-friendly ingredients like potatoes, sweet potatoes, elbow noodles, and plant-based “hamburger” to create a rich, comforting soup the whole family will love.
It’s one of those dump-and-go recipes that feels like a hug in a bowl — flavorful, filling, and totally kid-approved. And the best part? It all comes together quickly right in the Instant Pot, which makes clean-up just as easy as the cooking. Let’s dive in!

Helpful Tips
Helpful Tips
Avoid mushy noodles: Don’t overcook! Just 3 minutes of pressure with a short natural release keeps everything perfect.
Add extra veggies: Corn, peas, carrots, or zucchini all make this even more filling and colorful.
Make it creamier: Stir in a splash of unsweetened plant-based milk or a spoonful of vegan sour cream after cooking.
Turn it into a stew: Add more potatoes and reduce the broth for an extra-thick, hearty version.
Meal prep friendly: This soup reheats beautifully and thickens as it chills — great for lunches!
And that’s it, friends! A simple, cozy, plant-powered Instant Pot Vegan Hamburger Soup that’s perfect for chilly nights, busy days, or whenever you want a bowl of warm comfort. I hope this recipe brings your home as much joy (and yummy aromas!) as it brings mine.
