Instant Pot Soup Recipes 2

I am in love with my pressure cooker and have made so many easy Instant Pot recipes this year! I started with quite a few Instant Pot soup recipes and they were great! SO quick to make and just a feel good comfort food on a cold day. (originally published 1/18, affiliate links present)

Soup Recipes Instant Pot

Pair your bowl of soup with a basket full of bread and it’s the perfect dinner idea for kids and adults as far as we are concerned. Easy meal prep and quick cook times for busy days.

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.

FIRST – You should sign up for my free newsletter so you get new posts emailed to you twice a week and never miss out on anything! Now let’s start with a few basic tips:

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.

How do you use Instant Pot for soup?

It is really quite simple. As long as you have enough broth to cover your ingredients, you’re set. When using ground beef just saute that first and add other ingredients like our Instant Pot cheeseburger soup.Instant Pot Cheeseburger Soup 3

What is soup setting on Instant Pot?

It is a preset button on all models that ensures the contents don’t heavily boil. Default is 30 min. on high.

You can adjust the time once you push the button, as well as change it from high to low temp.

Honestly, I don’t use it. The only preset I use is the rice button. I just use my own timing, and almost always set to high pressure.

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

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.

Instant Pot soups

Some are game changers in respect to how much faster they are to make vs. on the stovetop. When you have difficult and tough meats like our Instant Pot oxtail soup you’re talking about hours of difference.

Light and healthy Instant Pot Italian wedding soup is one of our favorites. Another one would be our healthy asparagus and spinach soup.

And yes we have even more, of course……

Make a bowl of Instant Pot stuffed pepper soup sometime too. Using uncooked rice it’s simple and healthy for everyone.

If you have leftover rotisserie chicken you can throw it into a batch of Instant Pot Gnocchi soup.

Our Instant Pot cream of celery is great too with chicken.

Soup Recipes for Pressure Cooker

Our pressure cooker bean soup and Instant Pot black bean soup recipes are simple and healthy.

It doesn’t really need to be freezing outside for us to make soup for dinner. It is always a feel good comfort food that is easy to throw together, no matter which one you make.

Basically I can just throw some rolls in the oven and have a complete meal done in under 30 minutes. HUGE win for busy moms I say. Can you save leftover soup? Totally and we show you here how to do that best.

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.

Hi Justine, Love your site and all the recipes, at this time, especially instant pot. I was excited to get your free instant pot soup cookbook! But the link takes me to Amazon... 500 instant pot recipes kindle. If you get this comment, could you email it to me? Oh do you have a section/list of vegan recipes, instant pot? Trying to do whole plant based food intake not necessarily strict vegan. Lost 6lbs in a month of about 60-70% plant based the rest typical Standard American Diet. I do not like to cook. So I'm trying to cook with ingredients that one would keep on hand and use the instant pot.
