How to Make Instant Pot Meatball Soup

This recipe starts by sauteing onion in the Instant Pot. Did you know your Instant Pot/pressure cooker most likely has a saute/browning function? It's super handy for getting veggies softened or browning meat before using the pressure cooker function.

After that, the rest is all very simple - you add the remaining ingredients and cook it on high pressure for 6 minutes. That's it!

This recipe uses frozen meatballs, which makes it super simple. You could definitely make your own meatballs, but I love the convenience of frozen meatballs, and I think they are still very tasty.
