Today I am sharing a recipe that I make at least once a month! I’ll start off by saying that I LOVE my Instant Pot! It’s such a huge game changer when it comes to cooking and takes so much time out of the process. I love to cook, but sometimes, I’m too busy to prep and prepare a full homecooked meal. That’s exactly where the Instant Pot comes in. It makes it so easy to cook a delicious meal without having to stand over the stove watching it. This recipe for potato soup is one of my favorites to make in my Instant Pot.

Instant Pot Potato Soup

Ingredients

1 tbsp Butter
1 Yellow Onion, diced
6 cloves Garlic, minced
32 oz Vegetable OR Chicken Stock
6 cups Yukon Gold Potatoes, cubed
8 oz Cream Cheese
Salt
Pepper
Topping Options: Crumbled Bacon, Green Onions, Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Instructions

Use the "Sauté" feature on your pot to sauté the onion in butter until onions are soft
Add in minced garlic and sauté for approximately 1 minute
Press the "Cancel" button on your pot and add in vegetable (or chicken) stock and potatoes. Stir the mixture until well combined.
Secure the lid on your post and set it using the "Manual" button to 30 minutes
Once the 30 minutes are up and the timer goes off, allow the pot to vent completely before removing the lid.
Stir in cream cheese until melted and then use a potato masher to mash the potatoes to achieve your desired consistency. I prefer to leave a few chunks in mine.
Season with salt and pepper and garnish with desired toppings.
