How to Make Zuppa Toscana Soup in a Ninja Foodi Using the Electric Pressure Cooker Feature
Aunt Lou here.
We had a family get together recently, and it everyone was bringing a soup to share. Cris brought this Ninja Foodi Zuppa Toscana Soup, and my family loved it. I thought I would give it a try at my house, and it was devoured. It is not a dump and go recipe, because it requires some prep work, but I promise you that the end result is worth it. My kids ate kale (even my picky eater) and were happy to do so!
When making a recipe in any electric pressure cooker, Ninja Foodi included, it takes some time to come up to pressure, usually around 15 minutes for my altitude. With using the sautรฉ feature to cook the sausage, bacon, onion and garlic, my Ninja Foodi actually came up to pressure in about 5 to 7 minutes. So, not only does using the Ninja Foodi for cooking all that together make it so you have less dishes, it also lessens the time to come up to pressure since the insert and heating element are already hot. Win, win!
