All of my favorite Instant Pot Soup Recipes on one page! Here you will find a huge variety of Instant Pot soups that are all healthy, unique, and bursting with flavor.
Soup and pressure cooking are a match made in heaven. What once used to be a timely chore on the stovetop, is now a hands-off job that can be done with the press of a button.
I am constantly adding to my soup recipes here on TIDBITS and I'm happy to say that I now have a long list of healthy, wholesome, filling, soul-soothing soups for you to enjoy year-round!
WHY IS SOUP BETTER IN THE INSTANT POT
- FASTER AND MORE FLAVORFUL: Gone are the days of letting soup simmer on the stovetop or in a slow cooker for hours to infuse all of the flavors. The Instant Pot can do the same thing in a fraction of the time!
- PERFECTLY COOKED VEGETABLES: Getting vegetables like carrots and potatoes soft on the stovetop can be a long process. Once you figure out ideal cook times for these vegetables in the Instant Pot, you will get consistent results every time.Â
- TENDER MEAT: With the right cook times, the protein in your soup will be delightfully tender, juicy, and flavorful as it gets infused with the liquids, vegetables, and spices in the pot.  Â
- PRESERVES NUTRIENTS: Cooking under pressure has actually been shown to preserve key nutrients in food when compared to other cooking methods. Bonus for when you want Chicken Noodle Soup to heal your cold!
To keep everything nice and organized, this post will round up all of the TIDBITS soup recipes for you to browse, drool over, and menu plan. Make sure to check out recipe pairings at the bottom of the post.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH SOUP
Soups like the Chicken Corn Chowder and Spring Soup above are hearty enough that they hardly need a side dish. Others, like Tomato Basil Soup or Turmeric Soup are just begging for a sandwich, salad, or something to dip. Here are some ideas of possible side dishes that I frequently make for soup night:
- Sandwiches:Â Grilled Cheese, French Dip (with French Onion Soup!), Ranch Chicken Panini, BLT, etc. (All our Sandwich/Wrap Recipes)
- Bread:Â Breadsticks, Bread Bowls, Focaccia Bread, Whole Wheat Artisan Bread, Rosemary Asiago Crusty Bread, Cheesy Pesto Breadsticks, rolls, etc. (All Our Bread Recipes)
- Salads: Simple side salad (clean out the fridge!), Mexican Street Corn Salad, Italian Pasta Salad, Lemon Kale, Poached Pear Salad, etc (All Our Salad Recipes here)
- Fruit with Dip: Serve a variety of fruit with a fun dip like this Creamy Cashew Dip, Chocolate Syrup, Skyr Yogurt Cream Cheese, Cookie Dough Dip, etc. (All Our Dip Recipes)
