Recipes..INSTANT POT LOW-CARB SOUP WITH GROUND BEEF, GREEN BEANS, AND TOMATOES yummy

INGREDIENTS:
1 tsp. olive oil
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 T minced garlic (We used minced garlic from a jar.)
1 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 lb. fresh green beans, ends trimmed and cut into short pieces about 1 inch long
2 cans (14.5 oz. each) petite-diced tomatoes with juice
2 cans (14 oz. each) beef broth (or use 3 1/2 cups homemade beef stock, which will be even better)
salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste
freshly grated Parmesan for serving (optional but highly recommended unless you are avoiding dairy)
DIRECTIONS:
Turn the Instant Pot or electric pressure cooker to saute, or turn on heat under the stovetop pressure cooker, add the oil and heat a minute or two, add ground beef and cook the beef until it�s nicely browned, breaking apart with a turner as it cooks.
When beef is browned, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried oregano and cook  about 3 minutes more.
Add the petite-dice tomatoes with juice and the beef broth and let them start to heat in the pressure cooker while you prep the beans.
Trim beans on both ends, then cut them into short 1-inch pieces. Add beans to the pressure cooker.
Lock the lid closed and switch the Instant Pot to the SOUP function. (If you don�t change anything, that will cook 30 minutes at LOW PRESSURE.) For another type of pressure cooker, use choose LOW PRESSURE or bring stovetop pressure cooker to LOW PRESSURE and cook 30 minutes.
Use the quick release method to release the pressure.
Season soup to taste with salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
Serve hot, with freshly grated Parmesan to add at the table if desired
