Instant Pot Leftover Brisket Soup is THE solution to your leftover brisket woes. It is such an easy way to turn leftovers into a freezer friendly grab and go lunch!
Every time I put in my beef order at Long Run Ranch, I add a brisket to my order. This is not something one can typically find at my local grocery store.
Problem is... they are always large cuts of meat, and with only 2 meat eaters in our house, there are always leftovers.
Since my solution for leftovers is to turn them into a freezer meal of some sort, Instant Pot Leftover Brisket Soup was a pretty clear solution here!
Once my soup is done, I let it cool and portion it into single serve portions.
Now, I have grab and go lunches for the work week.
Now, when you cook a brisket you do want fat on it. But, when I turn it into soup, I do cut off as much as the visible fat as I can from the leftover meat. Otherwise, you end up with a really oily soup.
Other than that tip, it is as simple as tossing all your ingredients in your Instant Pot!
