Instant Pot Cabbage un-roll soup!

If you were one of the lucky ones, you also bought the Instant Pot during Amazon Prime day!! #bestdayever!! My mom and I have been talking about getting one for weeks...and then it was on such a great deal, we couldn't pass it up! It arrived two days later and then stayed in the box until last weekend when my mom was here to start working on recipes with me. It's fun to cook...and it's way more fun when you have a kitchen partner!

My dad loves cabbage and eats it every year on January 1st. It's a tradition and I have tried to find other cabbage recipes that I can eat throughout the year. I love cabbage rolls, but I am too lazy to roll them...so I updated my recipe to be an un-roll. Hooray for being lazy!

We worked together to chop, dice, and mince, and had a blast. Make it fun, because it is! My mom went in for her very first mani/pedi last week, look at those pretty nails! I love that garlic press, it's been a game changer for sure.

I gathered up all the ingredients and then realized I forgot the Bragg's. I love this stuff!

Ingredients

• 2 pounds of ground beef (or any ground meat)-browned (I like to brown mine first)
• 1 small cabbage, shredded
• 2 cans of tomatoes (mine are home canned in Italian Seasoning)
• ¾ cup of rice – not cooked
• 1 cup of cauliflower rice – not cooked
• 1 small onion, diced
• 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup of chicken broth
• 2 cups of water
• 2-3 twists of salt from the grinder
• 1 tblsp Bragg’s Aminos
• 3 drops of Black Pepper Vitality Essential Oil
  

 Directions

1.     Brown meat on the stove. While doing this, shred up your cabbage, dice the onion and mince the garlic.

2.     To make it easier, I bought the cauliflower rice already prepared from Trader Joe’s! Work smarter, not harder, right??

3.     Dump all your ingredients into your Instant Pot.

4.     Make sure your vent on top is set to steam. When you’re putting your lid on, it will sing to you if it’s done properly. (Good job!!)

5.     Push the soup button- it should now say ‘On.’ It took mine about 15 minutes to get fully pressurized and then it switched to say ’30.’ So, the soup takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes from start to finish, with the bulk of that being the Instant Pot doing its work!

6.     When it said it was done, we needed to push it to the venting option.
