Ingredients

For the soup

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion finely chopped
2 garlic cloves minced
1 pound ground beef
3 tablespoons taco seasoning or 1 packet
3 cups beef or chicken broth
1 28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes
1 15 ounce can of corn, drained
1 15-ounce can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1 7-ounce can diced green Chiles

Instructions

Set the Instant Pot to saute mode and heat the oil.
Add the onion and cook until soft then add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
Add the beef. Stir to break the meat up and cook until it is brown.
Stir in the taco seasoning.
Add the broth and scrape the bottom of the pot to remove any cooked-on bits. This will prevent the Instant Pot from giving you that burn message.
Add the rest of the soup ingredients. Do not stir.
Cancel the saute setting and place the lid on the pot. Lock the lid in place and make sure the valve is in the sealed position.
Set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 4 minutes. (It will take a few minutes to come up to pressure).
When finished cooking, allow the Instant Pot to release pressure naturally for 10 minutes then release the rest of the pressure manually.
Serve hot with plenty of toppings, especially corn chips and cheese.

Notes

When you cook the onions and ground beef, some of it will get stuck to the bottom of the pot. When you add the broth, it will loosen any of the cooked-on bits and make it easy to clean or deglaze the pot.This is an important step that will prevent the Instant Pot from giving you a burn message.
Nutrition does not include any of the toppings.
Instead of canned corn, you can substitute 1-1/3 cups of fresh or frozen corn.
Instead of canned black beans, you can substitute 1-1/3 cups of pre-cooked black beans.
