Greetings fellow soup lovers.
Today I’m going to share a low carb beef and vegetable soup recipe that is super easy to make in an Instant Pot. If you are reading this far, then I am guessing you’ve got an Instant Pot (or “IP” if you are in the know). It’s pretty great, right? I love taking recipes that need to bake for several hours and using the pressure setting to cook them in fraction of the time.
And today’s recipe is in that vein.
I used beef chuck roast which usually takes between 3-4 hours in the oven to cook properly. But today I cooked it in the Instant Pot for just 35 minutes. And for this low carb vegetable soup, I brought out my secret weapon: the Daikon Radish. It looks a little something like this:
The Daikon Radish can be a very handy substitute for high carbohydrate potatoes.
I thought about using cauliflower instead of potatoes in this low carb soup, but then I decided against it. We low carb dieters sometimes ask too much from cauliflower, in my opinion. There is only so much it can do.
But look how well our friend the Daikon Radish fits into the soup!
It blends seamlessly with the other low carb vegetables in the soup. The soup is a blend of garlic, zucchini, celery and red bell peppers in a tomato and beef broth base. But this beef vegetable soup is pretty versatile. You can add in other low carb vegetables like green beans, cabbage, kale and yes, if you really want to…you can add cauliflower.
It just won’t be as rad…ish. (I’ll see myself out.)

You can’t beat a good homemade soup, especially when early spring is chilly, like it is right now.
Nope. You really can’t beat it.
