Comforting and wholesome Gluten-free, Vegetarian Nacho Soup recipe in Instant Pot and Stove-top Pressure Cooker

Vegetarian Nacho Soup

Winters are here so is the time to have some comforting wholesome meals that are filling and nutritious too. Here in Iowa, temperatures drop below freezing point, snow blizzards and high speed winds are so common. Gloomy days sometimes make the mind dull and all I want to serve my family is some one pot meals that filling and kids friendly too. And, I am saved from the task of washing extra dishes!! 😉

This Instant Pot Vegetarian Nacho Soup fits all the factors. With crunchy nachos on top this surely gets a thumbs up from the kids!!

It's a kind of dump all and cook kind of meal, where one doesn't need to grind and saute masala. It is ready within few minutes and you can add on to your additional topping and relish this hearty meal.

Ingredients for Vegetarian Nacho Soup

This Vegetarian Nacho soup has the goodness of beans, corns and is flavored with my special homemade taco seasoning. The real kick of flavors to this soup comes with the addition of Salsa. I use store-bought Salsa to make it more flavorful.It is gluten-free and can be made vegan friendly, skip all the dairy topping like cheese and cream.

Ingredients for Nacho Soup

Black Beans or any kind of beans are an excellent source of proteins and rich in antioxidants and folates. These are also rich in minerals and fibers and for vegetarians it is good substitute to protein from meat. Other than Black beans you can add any other beans of your choice.like pinto beans, lima beans, navy beans and red beans...

Canned or pre-boiled beans ( like red kidney beans) cut down the cooking time. If using dried beans, soak beans in water for 5-6 hrs and boil in Instant Pot(pressure cook for 20 minutes) and for 20 minutes in Stove-top Pressure cooker. You can then use these beans in Pulao,/Pilafs, fried rice, tacos or cutlets and vegetarian burger patties.

I also added frozen corns and 1-2 tbsp of finely chopped green bell pepper/capsicum instead of jalapeno.

For the heat, add finely chopped jalapeno , as I made for my kids too so I skipped it. But you can always add it.

You can use other veggies like carrots, butternut squash, zucchini in soup, it all depends on the availability of ingredients and your personal preference.

Toppings on this soup also vary as per your preference..

Sour cream or Greek Yogurt for the creamy texture.

Finely Chopped onions,

Sliced or cubed avocado or guacamole.

Any cheese or cheese blend

We love to add lots of nacho for the crunch. You add cut tortilla/leftover chapatis in strips, bake in oven for few minutes till crunchy and add.

For vegan friendly version of this soup add vegan cheese or non dairy cream and yogurt.

Homemade Taco Seasoning

This is easy and quick to make Taco seasoning, that you can use in any of the Mexican dishes not only this soup. I make it with all the easily available spice powders at home and this is how I can have the control on spice level too. Pl see the recipe card for details. Save it for the times when you just start with soup/tacos preparation and realize these is no seasoning in pantry!!

Notes

I have used fresh tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes. Then skip the tomato sauce.
Top with Parmesean Cheese/Ricotta/or any other Cheese blend of your choice.
Add salt carefully as canned beans, salsa and tomato sauce/diced tomatoes already have some salt content in it.
