Ninja Foodi Vegetable Beef Soup

You can use any type of electric pressure cooker to make this. We have a Crockpot Express, Mealthy and Ninja Foodi as well. You can saute and brown the meat to begin with, then add the rest of the ingredients. The best way to make a one pot meal with easy cleanup.

If you are new to this way of cooking you're in for a real treat. You can make something that would normally take hours on the stovetop to get tender, under 45 flat.

You want to add a can of petite Diced tomatoes for a chunky texture but with some tomato sauce with it to to make the soup umami.

For liquid we like to use Chicken broth but it is your preference, if making pressure cooker vegetarian soup then use vegetable broth or pressure cooker bone broth

What Type of Meat to Add

For the protein we add lean Ground beef. We mean you can leave out if you want Instant Pot vegetarian soup but we are going for all the things here.

You could opt to make our Instant Pot stew meat with potatoes option instead of ground beef but with that tougher meat we would recommend dicing the pieces up rather small.

What Vegetables to Add

As for the vegetables you want to have red or russet Potatoes diced into large bite size chunks. Carrots should be peeled and sliced into thicker dials. Celery is optional but nice diced. Yellow or white Onions go in everything for flavor and Green beans We added were fresh. You could even chop up 1/4 of a cabbage and throw that in

Should you use fresh or frozen vegetables in Instant Pot soup?

That depends on the texture you desire. If you are adding fresh produce we would choose things like carrots, celery, carrots and fresh green beans as those will stay in tact better under high pressure. More delicate choices like broccoli and cabbage cook quickly, 1-2 minutes and will fall apart in a pressure cooker soup.

Frozen mixed vegetables with peas, carrots and corn work best in that case. They will have a different texture though, a bit mushier. We used what looked fresh and wasn't expensive at the store. the entire meal including the garlic rolls was about $20. It fed all 5 of us with lunch for 2 left over for the next day, we call that a major win!

How Long to Cook Instant Pot Vegetable Beef Soup

Using fresh vegetables we think 10 minutes is right. In the case that you used canned we would cut it down to closer to 5 minutes so they don't get mushy and fall apart. You precook the meat in the first step so you are warming everything so it doesn't take long.

If you'd like softer vegetables allow pot to natural release for 3 minutes vs. a quick release noted. Then remove the lid and serve immediately for best results. We have a crockpot vegetable beef soup version here too.

Vegetarian option

You can omit the ground beef or meat entirely and follow the rest of the directions with vegetable broth instead. You could add tofu blocks at the end. When the soup is done remove lid and set to saute. Add this into the hot broth and allow to bubble for 1-2 minutes until warmed and serve.
