Ising machines are expected to solve combinatorial optimization problems efficiently by representing them as Ising models or equivalent quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) models. However, upper bound exists on the computable problem size due to the hardware limitations of Ising machines. This paper propose a new hybrid annealing method based on partial QUBO extraction, called subQUBO model extraction, with multiple solution instances. For a given QUBO model, the proposed method obtains $N_I$ N I quasi-optimal solutions (quasi-ground-state solutions) in some way using a classical computer. The solutions giving these quasi-optimal solutions are called solution instances. We extract a size-limited subQUBO model as follows based on a strong theoretical background: we randomly select $N_S$ N S $(N_S
