For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground meat in a separate skillet before adding it to the Instant Pot. Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef and pork. Adjust cooking time as needed to ensure meat is fully cooked. Adding a dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt to each serving enhances the creamy texture of the soup. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with two tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the soup after it's finished cooking. Let it simmer for a few minutes to thicken. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The soup may thicken as it sits, so you may need to add a little broth when reheating.
