Beef, Bean, and Potato Soup




The Beef, Bean, and Potato Soup is hearty and delicious!! It's a cross between Minestrone and Beef Stew. It's made with beef, potato, kidney and white beans, carrots, onions, and tons of flavorful seasonings! It's a very easy recipe to make too! We love it! Make it with me!




I love using my leftover roast in this recipe! It's a great way to use up Sunday dinner leftovers! You can also cook up some beef and add it to this recipe too! The kidney and white beans add a great texture to this soup!




I have included both Instant Pot and Stove Top instructions for this recipe! You know I love using my Instant Pot because it makes everything so quick and easy! If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can make it over the stove in a dutch oven just as easily! See below for details.
