I suppose the questions is how you define living and non living... "has ever lived"?

Water is inorganic.

Volcanic Ash may be "new soil". But, many other naturally occurring constituents in the soil have been part of life at one time or another.

Ammonia, Urea, Phosphates, Phosphorous, salts, etc...

There would also be numerous minerals in the soil necessary to promote life.

Even Proteins and carbohydrates might be from formerly living organisms.
