Ingredient Tips

Whether you prefer the creamy texture of russet potatoes or the buttery flavor of Yukon gold potatoes, the type of potato you choose can significantly impact the outcome of your soup. Experiment with different types of potatoes to find your favorite and create the perfect creamy potato soup.

This potato leek soup recipe calls for vegetable stock, but you can easily substitute it with chicken stock for a different flavor profile. Whether you prefer the rich flavor of chicken stock or the versatility of vegetable broth, both options can be used to create a delicious and flavorful base for your Ninja Foodi soup. If you’d like to go the homemade route, check out my Ninja Foodi chicken broth recipe.

When preparing the leeks you only need to use the white and light green parts. The dark green parts of leeks can be tough and fibrous, potentially affecting the texture of your soup. By using only the tender white and light green portions, you’ll ensure a smooth and creamy consistency.

A Ninja Foodi multicooker is essential for this recipe. To enjoy the convenience and versatility of this potato leek soup, you’ll need a Ninja Foodi multicooker equipped with both sautรฉ and pressure cook functions. These features allow for easy preparation and quick cooking times, ensuring a delicious and hassle-free meal.

Sautรฉ the leeks and garlic for a flavorful base. To enhance the flavor of your potato leek soup, start by sautรฉing the leeks and garlic in your Ninja Foodi multicooker using the sautรฉ function. Stir with a wooden spoon to prevent sticking and saute for approximately 3-5 minutes until the leeks are soft.

How Long to Cook Soup in the Ninja Foodi

Next, select the pressure cook function, set the time for 5 minutes, and press start. This potato leek soup requires only 5 minutes of high-pressure cooking, making it a convenient and efficient option for a busy weeknight.

Pressure cooking works by trapping steam inside the pot, creating a high-pressure environment that speeds up the cooking process. This not only saves time but also helps retain nutrients and flavors.

Once the pressure cooking time is complete, carefully switch the quick release valve vent to allow the pressure and steam to escape. This will prevent any potential burns or injuries when opening the pot.

After releasing the pressure, wait for the pressure indicator to drop before carefully removing the lid. This will ensure that the soup is safe to handle.

Next, use a handheld immersion blender to puree the soup. For a smooth and creamy texture, gently blend the soup using an electric hand blender. This will ensure that all the ingredients are evenly combined without the need to transfer the soup to a separate blender.
