Make a classic, simple soup with this Ninja Foodi Potato Soup, easy to make gluten-free and can also be made in the Instant Pot.
Do you love a good, warm soup? That’s how I feel about this Ninja Foodi Potato Soup, it’s a very basic potato soup, so you can really add your own spin on it.
This recipe can have diced ham added to it or bacon, really it’s up to you or you can enjoy it as is. We love to make it as is and mix in the crumbled bacon and cheese on top. It’s also wonderful paired with Cheddar Bay Biscuits.
Tips for Making Ninja Foodi Potato Soup:
This recipe starts by cooking up the bacon in the pot to have it ready to crumble on top of the soup. If you want to shortcut this, use pre-cooked and crumbled bacon bits and you will not need to do this step.
I’ll typically cook a whole batch of bacon when I make this soup and save some for breakfast too.
This recipe can be made in the Instant Pot or Ninja Foodi Multi-Cooker and will use the pressure cooker and saute functions.
The slurry that will be made with the cornstarch is what will thicken the soup, it also is important to let the soup cool for about 5-10 minutes to thicken up as well.
It’s a great recipe to add to your list of Ninja Foodi Soup Recipes.
What can you add to potato soup to give it flavor?
The seasonings, broth, and garlic are really going to give this soup a boost of flavor. Then, the bacon being mixed at the end also adds flavor. If you prefer you can add in diced ham too.
This Ninja Foodi Potato Soup is made with real ingredients and it has a great warm flavor, perfect for a cold day!

I added a package of frozen corn to this recipe. Everyone who had it, loved it.
Easy peasy absolutely delicious base recipe. I skipped the cream and just used whole milk and used 2 tbs of flour instead of cornstarch and skipped the thyme and celery, as they weren’t handy, used 4 tbs butter to saute onion and garlic.I am just not a fan of the way cornstarch congeals when chilled. Makes the creamiest soup for when you NEED that potato goodness..
