BASE UNSTUFFED CABBAGE ROLL SOUP RECIPE WHOLE30 INSTAPOT

Steps:

• cover your ground beef in the worcestershire sauce and mix
• turn on instapot to sauté and add oil and garlic.
• when garlic is starting to caramelize add beef.
• add some salt.
• while beef cooks dice onion.
• cut carrots into coins.
• julienne cabbage then chop.
• when beef is done add cabbage, onion, carrots, more salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, cayenne, garlic powder, apple juice, tomatoes, bay leaf, tomato sauce, Cholula, beef base and mix.
• add some stock but don't over fill instapot.
• put lid on and set to high pressure 45 minutes.
• release pressure naturally or manually.
• using a ladle transfer your soup to a large stock pot.
• add more stock to your desired consistency. It will be stew like out of your instapot and I like a soup more than a stew so I add at least an additional 2 qt stock and bring back to a boil.
• in a small bowl take half a ladle so you can taste for salt/sweet/heat. If it's bland to you add a tsp of salt and mix. It will gain saltiness as the soup reduces so don't over salt. If you can't taste any sweetness add a 1/2 C apple juice. If it's there isn't enough heat add a bit more cholula and cayenne. The mexican hot sauce will help with acid too.
