Instant Pot stuffed pepper soup is a great meal to make when you want to feed a crowd.

The reason is simple. When making instant pot stuffed peppers you are limited by the size-width of the inner pot. I usually make 4 or 5 peppers in my pot.

However, this instant pot unstuffed pepper soup yields up to 8 portions (or a very generous 6) which makes it perfect for large families or gatherings.

Plus it’s hassle-free and tasty!

How to make stuffed pepper soup in instant pot

The preparation as well as the whole cooking process is very easy and thanks to the electric pressure cooker it’s also hassle-free.

Now you could throw everything in the pot, lock it and let it do its job but to intensify the flavors I recommend following the instructions.

Sauté the onion and green pepper before adding ground beef with garlic. Break up the ground beef with a wooden spoon so it cooks evenly. When done, add diced/sliced roasted red peppers, rice and the rest of the ingredients.

Lock the lid in its place and cook for 5 minutes on high pressure (MANUAL setting). Wait 10 minutes or longer to release the pressure manually.

Now I used 2 ingredients that are not usually used to make this pressure cooker stuffed pepper soup. Tomato juice and roasted red peppers are my secret “weapons” to make a flavorful dish. However, if you want to substitute these, then you can. Just check the recipe notes below.

Useful tips

  • Always remember that the pressure cooker needs some time to come to pressure as well as release its pressure. This time will vary on how full the pot is and on the type of meal you are making in it. In this case, it can be about 25 minutes.
  • You can substitute a lot of ingredients in this recipe (check the recipe notes for more detailed information).
  • I used uncooked rice to make this Instant Pot stuffed pepper soup but if you have some leftover rice you can use that one. Just make sure to add it to the finished soup.
  • As for the peppers I used a combination of fresh green Italian peppers and roasted red peppers. You can use fresh peppers only. It does not really matter what type you use.
