You can also make this soup in an Instant Pot. Simply brown the plant based ground beef using sauté mode. Once browned, deglaze the bottom of the pot with the cup of water. Switch to Manual High Pressure mode. Add the remaining soup ingredients, then lock the lid and close the pressure valve. Cook for 20 minutes, then naturally release the pressure for 10 minutes. Manually release the pressure and serve.
You can make this recipe using non-plant based ground beef. Make sure to drain the extra fat after browning.
You can make this recipe glutenous by using barley instead of short grain brown rice.
You can use two diced medium yellow onions instead of the green onions if you like.
Keep in mind that if you use Impossible brand plant based ground beef you only get 12 ounces in a package. That’s fine, however if you’d like the whole pound of ground plant based beef use the Beyond Beef, which comes in a 16 ounce package.
