Beef Pot Pie Soup

Admit it, no other protein does it quite like beef. It tastes amazing. We have tweaked this lots of ways whether I have a chuck roast on hand or leftovers I can combine them with a bag of frozen vegetables to make Instant Pot recipes of all kinds just like this…..

Who doesn’t love a rich flavorful pot pie with tender bite size beef hidden inside with biscuits on top (or on the side if you prefer)?? It is the ultimate comfort food my grandmother made all the time but now it is faster and better than ever, this way.

Ninja Foodi Pot Pie Soup

You could certainly make this same meal on the stove too but this is faster. Under high pressure in an IP or in a Ninja Foodi makes any cut of beef super tender breaking down the connective tissues so it becomes melt in your mouth delicious. With this multi cooker you will use the lid that is not attached specifically.

What is the best beef to use?

I think this goes best with bite sized chunks of beef. I will say that this is one of our favorite Recipes Using Beef Stew Meat cut into bite size pieces because it is the easiest way to get them so tender they will fall apart when served.

To make the rich stew sauce you will start with a can of diced tomatoes, and then with some V8 or tomato sauce and beef stock or broth.

Best Vegetables to Add

As for fresh vegetables I will add some russet potatoes diced into small bite size pieces and onions. Those aren’t great frozen or canned so I will go “all out” and prep those which literally takes 5 minutes.

Yes I use frozen mixed vegetables to make this pot pie. Why?? Well especially during the winter time I may not have fresh corn or green beans available.

If you chose to make chicken pot pie soup you would want to change the cook time to just 6 minutes to still give it enough time for the potatoes to tenderize and meat to cook to a safe temp.

Can you add dumplings?

As for the dumplings themselves you can just serve with baked biscuits or make them with 3 ingredients like we did with our Bisquick Chicken and Dumplings. Set to saute when done and drop into the hot liquid to boil for about 5 minutes.

Instant Pot Cook Time

This is the way we suggest making this because you just prep and dump everything in and walk away….now that is my kinda’ dinner. 😉 In 35 minutes everything is ready to enjoy.

Stovetop Option

You can start with beef tips on the stove and simmer with everything else on low, covered until tender as well. If set over medium high heat with a consistent low bubble and boil I would add another 10 minutes to about 45 minutes for this method. Not a huge difference as far as that is concerned but I think the texture is more fall-apart under high pressure.

Pot Pie Soup with Biscuits

Since we aren’t making a pot pie crust you might need some flaky goodness with it….that part is totally up to you. Since I am aiming for a quick dinner I just throw in some refrigerated biscuits and they’re done at the same time.

Some of us like them on the side, where others (me) like them cut up into bite size pieces and served on the top like you see here. You could also make our pull apart bread. Scooped up in a spoonful with a variety of vegetables, a piece of tender beef, thick broth and a piece of biscuit you will get the best bite ever!!
