Can you make soup in the air fryer?
Yes, you can definitely make soup in the air fryer. This method is quick and easy, allowing you to enjoy delicious, roasted flavours in your soup. By roasting vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, onions, or even carrots in the air fryer, you enhance their natural sweetness and depth of flavour. Once the vegetables are tender, you can blend them with stock and any additional ingredients for a creamy texture. This approach not only saves time – allowing you to enjoy a warm bowl of soup in under 30 minutes— but also lets you create healthier options packed with nutrients. Plus, the versatility of the air fryer means you can experiment with a variety of vegetables and flavours, making it simple to whip up everything from classic tomato soup to hearty vegetable blends.

Method
Step 1
Chop the peppers, tomatoes and onions. Place them in the air fryer basket along with the olive oil, crushed garlic, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper. Air fry at 200°C for 20 minutes until the vegetables are nice and tender.
Step 2
After roasting, add the vegetable stock, cream, and fresh basil to the air fryer basket. Use a handheld blender to blitz everything until smooth (I used an immersion blender to do this so it doesn’t ruin the air fryer basket). Alternatively, you can transfer the mixture to a blender if needed.
Step 3
While your soup is cooling, prepare your cheese toastie. Assemble your sandwich with cheese between two slices of bread and air fry at 200°C for 7 minutes until nice and crispy.
Step 4
Pour the soup into bowls and top with additional basil if desired. Serve alongside your cheese toastie for a satisfying meal.
