Fiesta Instant Pot Nacho Soup Recipe

Easy Instant Pot nacho soup with ground beef recipe is spicy and full of flavor! If you love nachos you’ve got to try this pressure cooker cheesy soup for dinner.

I’m all about cheese and a bit of spice, so how could you go wrong with Fiesta Instant Pot nacho soup I thought. It turned out delicious!! It is definitely one of my favorite soup Instant Pot recipes on cold evenings as well as during a Super Bowl party! (affiliate links present)

Fiesta Nacho Cheese Soup

So I had never had nacho soup before but heard about it in passing and thought it had to be my next pressure cooker soup! You can change it up quite a bit to your liking. Use Jimmy Dean spicy ground sausage to make it really spicy, ground beef for a milder meal or ground turkey is lower in fat.

Served as a meal is great with a side of bread but this is also a fun dip for soft pretzels if you make it a bit thicker. Either way you can add diced chiles or jalapenos for more flare and heat, or leave as is. Both are delicious.

Serve it with a bowl of scoop tortilla chips on the side or as is or with some soft rolls too. At first I grabbed cheddar cheese soup to use as the base but found Campbells fiesta nacho cheese soup right next to that! I thought that would even be better!

I do think that added a bit more spice and nacho like flavor but if you couldn’t find that a can of condensed cheddar cheese soup would do just as well. Just in case you need tips on how to thaw out your Instant Pot ground beef because you forgot to take it out the night before it’s here.

Pressure Cooker Nacho Soup

• Fiesta nacho cheese condensed soup – can use cheddar cheese condensed soup too as an alternative, if you want heat add 1/2 finely diced jalapeno
• Petite diced tomatoes – I like the smaller version but either way really

Diced chiles – use any heat level, I use medium and it’s perfect but if you don’t want much spice use mild

Milk – 2% works best to make it a bit thicker, fat free works too if that is what you have Cheddar cheese is a must of course – sharp is best if you ask me. The fiesta nacho cheese soup isn’t as yellow as the “regular” version so the color at the end looks like this.

• Ground beef – this is how to thaw Instant Pot frozen ground beef in case you forgot to take it out the night before.
• Taco seasoning – 1 packet or you can make your own and use 1 oz.
• Onion – can omit if desired

I don’t drain the diced tomatoes either so that lends itself to a bit of a reddish tint. When I brown the meat with my diced onions I don’t bother to drain the grease. That part it is up to you and you, can drain it if you wish.

I tend to buy low fat beef so there isn’t much grease left. What little there is lends to added flavor in my opinion so I choose not to. I follow this same method when making my Instant Pot spaghetti too…but like any recipe do what you choose. It turns out really beefy and filling, with a side of chips it fed the 5 of us well.
