Pressure Cooker Vegetable Soup is one of those recipes that you can customize to use what you have on hand! It's quick, simple, & delicious!
I love soup. I especially love my mom's soups. Mom would spend 1-2 days developing the flavor in her soups and you tasted her love in every bite.
Unfortunately, I never had the time to spend making soup like she did... and now, I can get the same 
great flavors in a fraction of the time! Thank you, Ninja Foodi!
You can make this soup in any pressure cooker and the instructions should be the same. If you want to check out another great soup in the Ninja Foodi, this recipe for Clam Chowder is delicious!

Can I use different Vegetables in this Pressure Cooker Vegetable Soup?
Absolutely! You can omit or add any type of vegetables you like, just keep these few tips in mind so you know when to add the vegetables you want.
Root veggies such as carrots, turnips, rutabaga, parsnips are all great additions to this soup and can withstand the 30-minute pressure cook time, so go ahead and add them in the beginning.
Vegetables with short cooking times, like zucchini, squash, and eggplant should be added after the pressure cook time. Use the sauté function on the Ninja Foodi to cook them for a few minutes until they are the desired tenderness.
Spinach has an even shorter cook time and I recommend adding that in after the pressure cooking time and simply stir it around in the soup and the heat of the soup will cook the spinach in no time.
Can I use different beans?
Of course!
The 15 bean blend that I get is Hurst's HamBeens and it contains, among others, pinto beans, lima beans, and small kidney beans.
Just keep in mind that if you use larger beans you might need to add an additional 5 minutes or so to the cook time.
Black Beans cook in 30 minutes, so they are a good choice as well.
You can even leave out the beans, but if you do that, reduce your liquid to 2 cups. You may also want to reduce the spices a bit.
How can I customize this soup?
The thing I love the most about this soup is how easy it is switch it up and basically have a different soup. Here are some of my suggestions:
* All of these suggestions are to be added after the pressure cooking time*
Add diced cooked ham to make a ham and bean vegetable soup.
Add leftover taco meat and a few dashes of hot sauce to make a quick taco soup.
Add shredded chicken, cumin, smoked paprika, and chipotle powder for a quick chicken tortilla soup.
Add leftover beef for a vegetable beef soup.
The possibilities are endless!
Can I Freeze the Leftovers?
Absolutely! This Pressure Cooker Vegetable Soup freezes very well. Just let it cool completely before putting in freezer containers to avoid steam inside the container that can lead to freezer burn.
You can store the vegetable soup in the freezer for 3-6 months.
To reheat the frozen soup, I recommend putting it in a 6" or 8" Fat Daddio Cake pan on the rack of the Ninja Foodi with 2 cups of water in the inner pot. Use the steam function for 20 minutes and your soup will be thawed, warmed and ready to eat. Don't forget to leave the black valve to vent when steaming.
Let's make a batch of Pressure Cooker Vegetable Soup!
Seriously, I don't think I've ever made a soup this easily!
Dice the onion and celery into ½" dices. Peel and slice the carrots into ¼" slices. 
Add all of the ingredients to the inner pot of your pressure cooker. Give a stir.
Put the pressure lid on and set the pressure to high for 30 minutes. Make sure your valve is to the seal position. When the time is up, allow the soup to natural release for 3-6 minutes. Manually release the remaining pressure.
Stir. Serve & Enjoy!

Just made this soup-so good!
I discovered you when I was looking up accessories for foodi and now I'm hooked. I did have a question. I put several items you recommended on my foodi Amazon list. I'll have to purchase one at a time. So if I order from my list, will you get credit? Also (guess I had 2 questions) you kept mentioning your Amazon store. Is there a way for me to go there? I entered the salted pepper and it immediately gave me the s. P. Amazon store but when I clicked it was just a million different salt and pepper shakers.
Thanks for your help
Debi

Just got my Ninja Foodi a few days ago and made your spaghetti recipe. Delicious!, I want to try a roast next. My question is can you recommend a good digital meat thermometer. I get so confused when researching the best one to buy. Love your recipes. I have been watching them pretty much nonstop for 2 days!
Louise says
Thank you so much! Congrats on the Foodi! A lot of people love the meater thermometer, but it is pricey. I'm using an instant read thermometer, but it doesn't stay in the meat. I will be testing out one from Pampered Chef soon that can be used both ways. The one I'm using now is from Amazon (affiliate link):https://amzn.to/2E3cFN1

Do you add the seasoning packet thar comes with the beans, or just the beans.THANKS,
Louise says
No, I just added the beans and my own seasonings.
Gayle says
I would like to add beef stew meat chunks. Do I need to cook the meat before adding to the soup?
Louise says
I would season them and use the saute function to sear the chunks. The beef will definitely cook in the 30 minute pressure cook time, but it will also give off some liquid. I would cut the liquid amount down by 1/4 to 1/2 cup. If you aren't using beans, then you will need to reduce the liquid even more. Keep me posted!
Leslie says
Louise,
What are your thoughts about adding a beef bone and tomatoe juice for flavor also?
Louise says
I think the beef bone would be fine to add flavor. As far as the tomato juice, you could probably add 1-2 cups along with the water or beef broth, but I wouldn't substitute all of the thin liquid with the tomato juice or it might not have enough thin liquid to come to pressure and cook the beans correctly. Let me know if you try it and how it works out!
