Enjoy This Amazing Instant Pot Potato Soup

The Instant Pot just made this a quick and easy weeknight meal for us. WINNING! I think it took longer to peel the potatoes than to cook the soup.

If you don’t have a pressure cooker, you can make this in your slow cooker or stove top as well. This creamy and warm cheesy baked potato soup is sure to be a new hit recipe in your house. Not only is it super simple, but also gluten free. Eat this delicious soup alone, with crackers or pair it with your favorite sandwich.

Freezing this Potato Soup for Later

This recipe was made for an 8 qt Instant Pot, so it does make a large amount of soup. I’ve been asked if left over Baked Potato Soup can be stored in the freezer and I don’t see why not?

If you plan to freeze this soup, I would recommend cutting the potatoes into larger chunks and freezing a portion immediately after cooking. The longer the potatoes are in the liquid, they tend to turn into mashed potatoes. Add more broth if this happens and it will still taste amazing and be less thick.

Keyword: dinner, instant pot, potato, pressure cooker, soup

5 pound bag of potatoes, peeled
1 large shallot minced (or 3 tablespoons minced onion)
6 cups chicken broth
4 Tablespoons butter
1/3 cup softened cream cheese
1/3 cup sour cream

Cut each potato in half and then half again making 4 pieces, add to the pot.

Add the minced shallots and pour enough chicken broth in the pot to cover the potatoes.

Seal the Instant Pot lid and cook on manual or soup setting for 10 minutes. (plan for 5-10 minutes for the Instant Pot to pre-heat)

Once the timer goes off, turn the valve from sealing to venting to release the pressure.

Remove the lid and gently mash the potatoes with a potato masher or large fork. You can also cut through them with a knife for chunkier pieces of potatoes.

Add butter, cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, salt and pepper, and blend to the consistency you like best.

Add milk to the soup and stir enough in until you get your desired soup thickness.

Add more salt and pepper if needed.

Add bacon bits to a small glass bowl and heat in the microwave for 30-60 seconds until crunchy.

Mix all of bacon bits into the potato soup, or use as a topping.

Serve with the toppings of your choice.

NOTE: Your pressure cooker will take some time to pre-heat, just like an oven. This time varies by brand, expect an additional 5-10 minutes before the soup starts to pressure cook.

If making in your slow-cooker, cook on low for 5-6 hours.
