Gluten Free Instant Pot Taco Soup

This easy recipe for gluten free instant pot taco soup made with beef is healthy and delicious. There are no beans in this recipe so it is Paleo and low carb. This is the best recipe to use hamburger and make a quick meal.

I love a meal that I can make the entire thing in the instant pot quickly and easily. For this gluten free instant pot taco soup I add the ingredients to the pot, including the raw hamburger, and pressure cook manually for 18 minutes. It doesn't get much easier than that!

Is this soup low carb?

Yes! There aren't beans in this recipe so the ingredients are low carb. This soup is great for dinner or to package up for lunches. I like to add sour cream and avocado as toppings for some added fat.

Can I make this taco soup without beans?

Yes. I don't eat beans (legumes) so I make my taco soup without them. Since I didn't include beans this soup is considered Paleo. I don't miss the beans at all. There is ground beef and chunks of tomatoes that make this soup hearty and filling.

Can I use frozen beef in this recipe?

Yes, but you will need to increase the cook time. I like to have the beef defrosted so the recipe only takes 18 minutes to cook. It's also nice to be able to crumble the beef up to get smaller chunks.

However, you can add your frozen beef in and double the cook time. As long as it's not a large block of frozen beef that should cook it. As I said though I would rather defrost the beef to have smaller chunks and cut down on the cooking time.

Does lemon ginger tea have caffeine?

This recipe does not contain caffeine. You are making the tea with water, ginger pieces, lemon slices, honey and a pinch of cayenne pepper. There aren't any actual tea leaves used.

This tea is loaded with vitamin C, which some say can help with a cold. When I have a cold I love a hot tea. Most importantly, the lemon in this tea is great for when I have a sore throat.

What does lemon ginger tea taste like?

If you are looking for sweet drink, this is not it. This tea has a tart lemon flavor with a bit of ginger. If you want the tea to be sweeter you will need to add more honey or another sweetener of your choice. I prefer this healthy lemon ginger tea without a lot of sweetness.
