For an even richer flavor, try browning the ground beef and sausage separately before adding them to the Instant Pot. Adjust the amount of Montreal steak seasoning to your preference. Start with less and add more to taste. Garnish generously! Freshly diced tomatoes, crispy bacon crumbles, a sprinkle of sharp cheddar, and a dollop of sour cream make this soup extra special. If you don't have fire-roasted tomatoes on hand, regular diced tomatoes work just fine. Consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika for a similar smoky flavor. For a smoother consistency, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup after the cheese has melted. Be careful not to over-blend!
