- Turn on the sauté function, and brown the beef in batches if needed. Let it cook until all sides are nicely seared.
- Once the beef is browned, add the dried basil, smoked paprika, chimichurri (or Italian seasoning), garlic, and onion. Stir everything together for a minute until the flavors begin to meld.1 Yellow Onion, 4 Garlic Cloves, 3 Dried Bay Leaves, 1 Tablespoons Italian Seasoning, 1 Tablespoon Smoked Paprika

- Close the lid and set the Instant Pot to Pressure Cook for 30 minutes on high pressure. Once the timer goes off, do a quick release.
- Option 1: After opening the lid, fish out the basil leaves and discard them. Remove the beef chunks and set them aside on a plate. Use an immersion blender to blend everything left in the pot until smooth. Once blended, add the beef back into the pot.
- Option 2: After opening the lid, remove the veggies (tomatoes, potatoes, and carrots) and place them in a blender with about 2 cups of the soup liquid. Blend until smooth, then return the blended contents to the soup.
- Turn the sauté function back on. Stir the soup, then add your pasta. (Check your pasta package for cooking times—mine cooks al dente in about 4 minutes). Keep stirring to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom. If it gets too thick, feel free to add a little more water.200g (7oz) Angel Hair pasta
