You can make all of these in any sort of pressure cooker you have too. Use a Crockpot Express, Mealthy, Ninja foodi or other brand. We do have a list of soup recipes in Ninja Foodi too. Many overlap but if you want to add a layer of cheese to air crisp on the top that machine is nice to do so.

If you are new to pressure cooking we have a lot of easy one pot meal recipes for you here. To begin with let’s start with a few basic tips:

• Make sure to Bookmark our InstaPot recipes page. We add new ones each week!
• Then PRINT this —–> Instant Pot cooking times cheat sheet that will help you understand how long meat, vegetables and beans take to cook in your pressure cooker.
  • This is a great InstaPot cookbook and a set of wooden utensils are great to grab too.
  • I HIGHLY recommend you buy this non stick pot.
    • You should still deglaze pressure cooker after sautéing but it won’t have as many issues with this better liner.

For reference, this is the pressure cooker I have (a 6 quart) and use for all recipe creations.

Soup in Instant Pot

Whether you want to add a bunch of meat or make a vegetarian delicacy like our Instant Pot vegetable ramen, they are all good. A feel good meal that is perfect during the snowy months but year round too.

There is NO soaking required if you want to add beans too, which we love. Try our Instant Pot 15 Bean Soup to see what we mean.

• Here is a free Instant Pot soup cookbook to go with this list too. 😉 We have things in it like Instant Pot chicken crack soup and healthier versions like split pea.

Pressure Cooker Soups

How much liquid do I put in Instant Pot soup?

A soup to me means you need to use a spoon, so you’ll need more liquid than in an Instant Pot casserole. 2 cups is generally the minimum amount I would add, up to 4 cups for others. If you are cooking with lentils or beans they will suck up a lot of it so for Instant Pot lentil soup with ham you’d need even more to thin it out.

You can add any sort of protein or make it vegetarian. Our favorite with steak is Instant Pot beef noodle soup. If you forgot to defrost dinner you can still make Instant Pot frozen chicken noodle soup too.

Why make Instant Pot soup recipes versus using your stovetop?

Things like Instant Pot potato leek soup might otherwise take 45 minutes to get the ingredients really nice and tender back in the day. Under high pressure you can cut that timing by a third and have everything ready in under 30 minutes total.

1. It’s a lot faster
2. You don’t have to stand by the stove to make sure it doesn’t bubble over
3. It creates a more flavorful soup because of the pressure cooking process
4. You don’t have to presoak dry beans if adding those into your soups
5. When done you can make Pureed Soup with an immersion blender right in the same pot

Many, like our Instant Pot fajita soup can be made both ways. You can bubble in a large stock pot or quicker this way. You can use canned beans too if you’re in a real hurry like our Instant Pot black bean soup.

Now when it comes to creating something really healthy this is the way to do just that. You can easily make fresh homemade Kabocha Squash Soup from scratch with no preservatives, just the flavor of the veggies shine!

Let us know which recipe you like the best or if there is another one you’ve tried that you love and we should add to our list! We made a list of Ninja foodi soup recipes too if you have that brand.

I have this 6 qt. Instant Pot, and just ordered the 3 qt. to try it out too but the recipe would be the same if you had an 8 qt. too.

• As with any other of my pressure cooker recipes I do not recommend doubling recipes unless it still stays under the 3/4 mark inside the pot.

For me I can’t double most of these in my 6 qt. or there would be too much inside to turn out properly.
