It’s important to note that many Instant Pot soup recipes can be easily adapted for your Ninja Foodi.

Just select the pressure cooking setting, and you’re good to go! These soups are particularly perfect during the colder months, especially when served alongside some crusty rolls or fresh bread.

Our diverse collection spans from light and refreshing vegetarian options, like our vibrant asparagus and spinach soup, to rich chicken noodle soup, creamy clam chowder, hearty beef soup, and nutrient-packed vegetable-heavy creations. Take your pick and embark on a culinary journey through our curated list!

Essential Tips for Your Ninja Foodi Adventures

Understanding your Ninja Foodi’s unique design is key. It comes with two distinct lids. The attached lid is designed for crisping, air frying, and other dry heat functions, while the separate, detachable lid is for pressure cooking – the method utilized in all the soup recipes featured here. This dual functionality is what makes the Ninja Foodi such an incredibly versatile kitchen appliance.

Comforting Chicken Soups

Chicken soup often comes to mind first when we think of easy, comforting meals. It’s a classic for a reason! You can effortlessly prepare many chicken soups using leftover chicken breast or by shredding a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. This makes it incredibly convenient for weeknight dinners and can be incorporated into various dishes, including savory Ninja Foodi buffalo chicken soup, hearty casseroles, and more.

Our pressure cooker chicken rice soup is another excellent option for utilizing leftovers, transforming them into a satisfying meal. If you prefer red meat, consider our delightful pressure cooker beef noodle soup. For those who adore creamy textures, our “crack chicken soup” is an absolutely irresistible indulgence. On a lighter, healthier note, try the wholesome Instant Pot chicken vegetable soup. If you appreciate a generous amount of fresh vegetables, our old-fashioned cabbage soup, prepared using the pressure cooker’s high function, is a superb choice for any evening.

For an entirely fresh experience, start by making our Ninja Foodi whole chicken recipe, seasoned simply with salt and pepper. Then, carve the succulent meat and add it to your soup. Combine with chicken broth and follow our step-by-step instructions to create a truly unforgettable homemade soup. The rich flavors developed in the Ninja Foodi will elevate your chicken soup to new heights.

Creamy Chicken Pot Pie Soup

Sometimes, you might desire a soup that is a bit richer and creamier. Something reminiscent of a comforting pressure cooker clam chowder, but with the beloved flavors of chicken. We’ve mastered just that with our incredible Chicken Pot Pie Soup!

For the ultimate in comfort food, you simply must try our pressure cooker beer cheese soup, perfect when paired with soft dinner rolls. Much like our smooth potato leek soup, both of these creations are wonderfully creamy and incredibly filling, making them complete meals on their own. Soup has truly evolved beyond being just a starter or appetizer; it can be the star of your dinner table!

We loved the concept so much that we developed several creamy variations, including a robust corned beef soup, a delightful potato corn chowder, and of course, this incredible Ninja Foodi pot pie soup!

If you happen to have leftover cooked chicken, it’s perfect for tossing into our vibrant fajita soup recipe. While fresh chicken works beautifully too, I particularly enjoy one-pot meals that help minimize food waste. This approach ensures no delicious meat goes unused.

Perhaps you’re intrigued by the pot pie soup concept but prefer beef? We’ve got you covered there too! Our obsession with this style led us to create a full Ninja Foodi chicken pot pie, and then we ingeniously merged the creamy soup idea with our robust Ninja Foodi beef stew recipe. The result? A remarkably flavorful and satisfying beef soup!

This “beef pot pie soup” turned out to be a hearty, vegetable-packed delight, complete with tender cubed potatoes that our family absolutely adored. You can use virtually any cut of beef for these recipes; we even have a unique Ninja Foodi oxtail soup version for those looking for something different. The pressure cooker makes even tougher cuts incredibly tender.

Wholesome Vegetarian Soups & More

Initially, we experimented with ground beef (or ground sausage, which also works wonderfully) to create a batch of unstuffed pepper soup. It was a resounding success! The following week, with an abundance of cabbage on hand, I tweaked the recipe to incorporate those fresh vegetables. This versatility is what makes Ninja Foodi cooking so enjoyable.

If you know me, you understand my strong aversion to wasting food. I believe there’s always a delicious way to transform ingredients into a new meal, often in under 30 minutes. This steak soup can easily be made vegetarian by omitting the meat, or you can add spicy sausage for an extra kick. Another fantastic, veggie-packed favorite is our pressure cooker vegetable ramen recipe, perfect for a quick and wholesome dinner.

Hearty Cabbage Soup Variations

Indeed, if you’re a fan of simple cabbage recipes, this hearty soup should definitely find a spot on your meal plan this week. We often make a large batch and have enough left over to whip up some delicious Ninja Foodi cabbage, and even some crispy cabbage in the air fryer. This ensures maximum use of this healthy and versatile vegetable.

Nourishing Soups with Beans

Beans are a fantastic, economical, and nutritious base for many soups. You can easily prepare our pressure cooker black bean soup using canned beans, making it incredibly quick. Serve it alongside some warm air fryer cornbread for a complete and satisfying meal any night of the week.

We’re also excited to share another fantastic pressure cooking sausage soup with you. In just a few minutes of cooking, followed by a quick pressure release, this flavorful soup will be ready in no time. You can use either canned or dry beans without the need for pre-soaking, similar to how we prepare our popular Instant Pot 15 Bean Soup. This flexibility makes it a convenient option for busy days.

Loaded with robust canned beans (for speedier cooking) and fresh kale added at the end, this is a kicked-up version of our traditional pressure cooker vegetable soup. It can easily be made vegetarian if you prefer a meat-free option. The convenience of canned beans ensures a quick prep time without compromising on flavor or nutrition.

If you find yourself with leftover ham after the holidays, consider trying something new and delicious by incorporating it into our lentil soup with ham. This dish can be as meat-heavy or as light as you desire. The richness of ham pairs wonderfully with earthy lentils, making it a truly satisfying meal.

For those who enjoy a smoother texture, you can transform leftovers into another meal, such as a velvety pureed soup, or simply make it from scratch for a consistently smooth result. There hasn’t been a soup, stew, or casserole I haven’t been able to master in our incredibly fast Ninja Foodi air fryer and pressure cooker machine! I also have another timeless classic to share with you.

Yes, you can certainly whip up a batch of delicious air fryer onions to serve atop amazing Instant Pot hamburgers. But pairing them with this rich French Onion Soup? Oh wow, that’s a culinary masterpiece! And please, do not skip the gruyere cheese on top with toasted bread – it is undeniably the best part of this indulgent soup. The combination of sweet caramelized onions, savory broth, and bubbling cheese is simply divine.

Are you ready for some incredibly creamy and delicious soup featuring fresh broccoli, perhaps alongside some perfectly roasted broccoli in the air fryer? Remember, when it comes to cheese soups, always be generous with the cheese! Okay, so perhaps don’t meticulously count the calories on most of my delightful creations; simply savor and enjoy them. 😉

For most soup recipes, you’ll generally use a quick pressure release rather than a natural release once the cooking time is complete. However, if you are cooking a larger or tougher piece of meat beforehand, such as a beef roast, it’s often beneficial to allow for a slow or natural pressure release. This extended period helps the meat tenderize further and remain exceptionally moist. Similarly, recipes like pulled pork benefit greatly from a slower pressure release method. After the natural release, you can then manually release any remaining pressure and proceed with the subsequent steps of the recipe.

Now, let’s delve deeper into our fantastic steak soup recipe, a true highlight among Ninja Foodi soup recipes.

For this steak soup, you can truly use any type of beef cut you prefer. While London broil was utilized in our specific preparation, feel free to choose your favorite cut, or opt for whatever is on sale and offers great value at your local butcher or grocery store. Flexibility in ingredients makes cooking more enjoyable and budget-friendly. Here’s a general idea of what you’ll want to have on hand to create this incredibly hearty and flavorful meal:

Mastering the Perfect Steak Soup in Your Ninja Foodi

The specific herbs we recommend for this steak soup are detailed within the printable recipe card below. Remember that seasoning to your personal taste is key. Feel free to adjust the quantities as you stir and at the very end of cooking. A little extra pinch of basil or thyme can significantly enhance the flavor profile. Don’t be afraid to taste and tweak to achieve your desired balance of flavors.

Now, let’s discuss how to properly store leftover soup. Since this soup contains a good amount of liquid, using freezer bags might be an option if you plan to lay them flat to freeze. However, for convenience and optimal preservation, I highly recommend using airtight containers. Once the soup has cooled to room temperature, seal it well. It will remain delicious and safe in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

If you don’t anticipate reheating the soup within that 3-day window, then packaging it for the freezer is the best approach. Freezing will extend its lifespan to several months, making it perfect for meal prep or those busy evenings when you need a quick dinner. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, simply transfer the frozen soup to your refrigerator overnight to allow it to thaw gradually. Then, pour it into a microwave-safe dish and heat for 1 minute, stir thoroughly, and heat for another minute or until piping hot throughout.

Should the soup appear a bit too thick after reheating, don’t worry – it’s an easy fix! Just add a small amount of beef broth or water and stir until it reaches your preferred consistency. This adjustment is particularly common for creamy soups or stews. Serve your reheated soup with a fresh side salad or some crusty bread, and you’ve got yourself a second fantastic meal that tastes just as good as the first, all without costing you anything extra! We’d love to hear about your favorite Ninja Foodi soup creations in the comments below!

The recipe featured in the card above utilizes cubed steak to create a robust and hearty beef soup. However, any cut of beef can be cubed into bite-sized pieces and used for this versatile dish. I’ve even successfully used flavorful chuck roast, which becomes incredibly tender under pressure. The beauty of the Ninja Foodi is its ability to transform even tougher cuts into succulent, melt-in-your-mouth components for your soup.
