Instant Pot Potato Soup Super Easy

We love serving this homemade creamy potato soup next to some garlic bread or dinner rolls and a delicious caesar salad for the perfect meal!

What Potatoes to Use

Russets a great choice for soups as they are nice and starchy to create just the right consistency.

Yukon gold or even red potatoes will work in this recipe too.

How to Make Instant Pot Potato Soup

The flavors of this soup aren’t so different from baked potato soup, but the cooking method is.

Need an Instant Pot?

An Instant Pot is an easy to use all-in-one pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker and more. It makes recipes a snap allowing the user to brown meats, fry bacon and pressure/slow cook all in one!

Crisp the bacon (right in the Instant Pot) and then cook the onion in a bit of the fat.
Add broth and scrape any bits from the bottom of the IP (so you don’t get a burn notice).
Add potatoes and let the IP work it’s magic.
Once the soup is cooked, smash a few of the potatoes, add a bit of cream/milk and thicken with cornstarch.

Voila! Dinner’s ready! Top it with bacon, cheese, onions… whatever you like!

What to Serve With Potato Soup

Potato soup is a full comforting meal on its own!

This soup is so incredibly rich, flavorful and filling, you definitely need something light and crisp, like a tossed salad with aa tangy Italian vinaigrette.

Leftovers

Keep in the refrigerator up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove top. Sadly, this soup doesn’t freeze well.
