Find a soup for the texture you want, from brothy chicken and vegetables to lentils, beans, blended vegetables and chowder. These are different recipes with their own cooking and blending steps, rather than one base with ten toppings.
1. International One-Pot Soups
Mixed vegetables and legumes make a substantial broth-based soup. Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
2. One-Pot Brothy Lemon Dill Chicken Soup

Chicken soup is brightened with lemon and dill. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil.
3. One-Pot Rustic Italian Lentil and Tomato Soup
Lentils and tomatoes form an Italian-style soup. Remove from heat and ladle soup into bowls.
4. One-Pot Creamy White Bean and Kale Soup with Parmesan Crust
White beans and kale are paired with a Parmesan finish. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the soup in the pot.
5. One-Pot Creamy Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup

Roasted red pepper and tomato are blended into a creamy soup. Remove from heat and carefully blend soup until smooth using an immersion blender, or transfer in batches to a countertop blender.
6. One-Pot Creamy Cauliflower and Leek Chowder
Cauliflower and leek make a creamy chowder. Use an immersion blender to partially puree the chowder until creamy but leaving some chunks for texture.
7. One-Pot Rustic Wild Mushroom and Barley Soup
Wild mushrooms and barley give this soup a hearty texture. Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or slow cooker insert over medium heat (use sauté function if available on slow cooker).
8. One-Pot Roasted Red Pepper and White Bean Soup

Roasted red peppers and white beans make a smooth soup. Use an immersion blender to partially puree the soup in the pot, blending about half for a creamy yet textured soup.
9. One-Pot Spiced Pumpkin and Lentil Soup
Pumpkin and lentils combine in a spiced soup. Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
10. Instant Pot Creamy Butternut Squash Soup
Butternut squash is pressure-cooked and blended in the same pot, then finished with coconut milk. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth and creamy.
Choose what to make
For a smooth soup, compare red pepper and tomato with the coconut-finished butternut squash. Chicken, barley and lentil soups keep more texture. The squash recipe sautés, pressure-cooks and blends in the same Instant Pot.
