With all the cold weather we’ve had recently there is nothing better than a hearty warm soup. Cooked in pressure cooker, Instant Pot Potato Soup is the perfect way to warm up the both the body and soul. 

Instant Pot Potato Soup Recipe

Ingredients 

• 1/4 lb of diced bacon
• 1/2 cup onion 
• 4 cups diced potatoes
• 4 cups chicken broth
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Shredded Cheese for topping

1.) Set your Instant pot to saute and toss in the bacon and onions. Cook until bacon is crispy and onions are translucent. 

2.) Add the potatoes and chicken broth and set to cook with pressure for 10 minutes. Allow to cook and release naturally. 

3.) Once pressure is fully released remove the lid and use a potato masher to mash the potatoes to your desired consistency. If you like your soup with more potato pieces leave it slightly less mashed.

 
4.) Turn the instant pot onto saute and allow the soup to reduce until it reached an appropriate consistency. 

5.) Top with cheddar cheese and serve immediately.

If you like reading recipes on the internet, you’ve probably found that most recipes have 400 words of backstory before you even get to the recipe. If you really like the recipe you might have to click through those 400 words 500 times to get to the actual recipe. When I look for recipes I find this really annoying so despite that everything I know about being a food blogger tells me I shouldn’t do this, Im going to move the stories to after the recipe, because the recipe is what is bringing you here. 

If you want my stories and my rambling, it’ll still be here either after the recipe or in other content. Enjoy your instant pot cooking and let me know what you think of the recipe!
