Hi again! Jessie here from Kitschen Cat sharing with you one of my favorite ways to use summer fruits.
I’m loving summer produce right now. It seems like every time I find myself at the grocery store, all I want to buy is peaches and melons and berries and any other beautiful summer fruit I can get my hands on. The fact that it’ll all be gone in just a few short months is getting to me, so I’ve been taking full advantage of seasonal goodies every chance I get!
Making Chilled Fruit Soup in an Instant Pot
Making this chilled fresh fruit soup in the pressure cooker is a breeze. I used a combination of cantaloupe, peaches, oranges, and pineapple juice, but you can customize it by using just about any fruit that looks good to you! Fresh strawberries or raspberries would be a fantastic addition and would give the soup a pretty pink color as well.
I started by scooping the flesh out of half of a cantaloupe, then peeling an orange and slicing it in half, followed by halving two peaches and removing the cores. All of that fruit then goes right into your pressure cooker accompanied with a juice of your choice – I chose pineapple!
The fruit cooks at high pressure for 5 minutes followed by a quick release, then gets puréed either with an immersion or stand blender. Next, I recommend straining the fruit to remove some of the pulp and letting it cool to room temperature before whisking in the Greek yogurt, vanilla, and a dash of powdered sugar.
After letting the chilled fruit soup hang out in the fridge for a couple of hours, it thickens beautifully and you can serve with some more Greek yogurt, chia seeds, or any other toppings you would like. Toasted nuts, granola, or chunky fruit would be all be tasty additions.
This chilled fruit soup recipe is a great way to pack all your favorite summer fruits into one refreshing dessert. Enjoy!

I made this this week, substituting raspberries for the orange and apple juice for the pineapple juice. Delicious! Since there are only two of us, there were leftovers. Two days later we finished it, and it was even better! Refreshing change. Thank you.
Raspberries sounds wonderful! 🙂 So glad you enjoyed it.
Jessie, this is absolutely lovely! As often as I use my pressure cooker, I’ve not thought to do a chilled fruit soup… I’m pinning this for later 🙂
Thanks so much Tamara 🙂 It was a new idea for me when I came across it a few months ago too, but perfect for the hot summer months!
This is a really creative way to use a pressure cooker to make a cooling Summer soup.
This looks so good! I definitely want to try this! I bet a splash of coconut milk would be good in it too!
do you know if this would freeze?
Hi Irene,
It would freeze quite well – you’ll just need to thaw it out in the fridge before being able to enjoy it!
Jessie, that soup looks AMAZING. What a treat on a hot summer day-the perfect cold lunch-gosh I sound like I’m back in grade school! Our area got hit hard this winter/spring so no fresh peaches to be had, darn it. I so look forward to peach season. I’m sure I can rustle up some other fruits to give this a try with.
Thanks so much!

Hi Carol – had sad that you don’t have local peaches this year. Let me know if you try the some with another fruit 🙂
