Instant Pot Mini Meatball Soup
We love medium sized meatballs in this delicious pressure cooker meatball soup.
If you like mini meatballs better, just follow the recipe, and make your meatballs slightly smaller. The soup will be just as delicious!
What Kind Of Meat To Use For Instapot Meatball Soup
We love turkey meatballs in this soup, they are delicious in it, and they make the soup come together great! Ground turkey is best for this soup, and not ground turkey breast. This is because ground turkey breast is leaner, and you want a bit of fat in the meatballs.
If you don’t have ground turkey on hand, use ground chicken instead. It is similar to the turkey, and will work great in this Instapot soup.
Other meat, like beef or ground sausage, will work too, but it will change he flavor of the soup. Beef meatballs are more robust than turkey, and they will completely change the flavor of the dish.
Porcupine Meatball Soup
Another thing that makes this Instapot meatball soup so amazing is that we don’t just use turkey meatballs, but rather we use porcupine meatballs. Very simply, those meatballs are made with rice, and rice adds another texture within the meatballs.
Because of the rice, the meatballs in this dish has a bit of unexpected texture, and taste really good in this meatball soup with vegetables.

This recipe for meatball soup with vegetables is so simple and delicious! Here is how to make it. See the recipe card below for all the measurements, timing and meatball soup calories.
First, prepare the vegetables. Wash and peel onions, carrots, potatoes.
Make the porcupine meatballs. To do that, combine all the ingredients for the meatballs together and mix. Form medium sized meatballs.
Start the Instant Pot on the Saute mode. Add some oil. Once the oil is hot, add onions and carrots and saute.
Next, add spices and potatoes, and saute a few more minutes.
Add two cups of water to the vegetables. Arrange the porcupine meatball on top of the vegetables, the way you see it in this picture.
Add more water to the Instant Pot, so that the pot is about 2/3 filled. Pressure cook the soup, then use Natural Release, and wait for the valve to drop.
Carefully open the Instant Pot, mix everything together and enjoy your delicious Instapot meatball soup!

Instant Pot Meatball Soup Recipe Easy
Here are more tips for making it very simple to make this delicious soup with porcupine meatballs.
– Make sure to use ground turkey, rather than ground turkey breast. Ground turkey contains just the right amount of fat, which is needed to make this soup extra delicious.
– If you don’t have ground turkey, it is fine to use ground chicken instead to make chicken meatballs.
– We don’t really recommend making beef meatballs or lamb meatballs for this particular soup, because those meatballs will give the soup a completely different flavor profile. The soup will still be good, but not similar to the one in this recipe.
– You can add celery to this soup. If you do, add at the same time as carrots and onions.
– You can add spinach or escarole to this soup as well. Add them when adding potatoes, and saute to decrease the green vegetables in size.
– Do you like tiny meatballs? You can make mini meatballs instead of the medium ones we make. They will be just as delicious!
– Can you make the meatballs without the rice? You definitely can do that. Kids love the porcupine meatballs in this soup, but they will be just as tasty without the rice.
– For a different twist on the soup, use Cajun seasoning mix in the soup for a delicious Cajun soup.
