Why make soup in an Instant Pot

1) Method - The saute function allows you to skip the stove and saute soup ingredients right in the Instant Pot. This is ideal for cooking aromatics like onion, ginger, and garlic – and browning proteins like beef, sausage, pork, or chicken before pressure cooking the soup.

2) Hands-free - Some Instant Pot soup recipes are quicker than other methods, but the real convenience is every pressure cooker soup recipe is hands-free in pressure cooking mode. So, you have time to make a kale salad or homemade croutons.

3) Big flavor - Instant pot soups are known for bringing BIG flavor to soups because the steam-cooked, enclosed environment prevents loss of moisture which promotes flavor retention.

Soups for every diet and occasion

This collection includes the gamut – healthy Instant Pot soups, cheat-day soups, low carb, broth-based, cream-based, gluten-free, soups with pasta, meaty soups, vegan or vegetarian soups, and globally inspired – it's all here!

They're easy, delicious, and made with everyday ingredients. Scale up or down, make ahead or same-day, and feel free to stock your freezer.

I know you'll find your new favorite electric pressure cooker soups to make again and again. Grab these Instant Pot recipes while you're here!
