I saw a recipe on pressure your luck for beef barley soup and I made some changes in the recipe to have ground hamburger and no potatoes. This soup was really tasty.

1 large chopped carrot
2 chopped celery
1 small yellow onion chopped
1 lbs ground hamburger cooked and drained or add raw hamburger to the pot if lean and cook

Push the cancel button to cancel sauté button
Put the lid on and make sure the seal in on.
Push the pressure cook button and put the time on 20 minutes
After 20 minutes let it come to natural release for 15 minutes.
Release any extra pressure. Open lid, stir and enjoy.
