How To Make Instant Pot Potato Soup
Variations
Make it meaty. If you want to add a little more protein to your Instant Pot Potato Soup, add some precooked cubed ham to the Instant Pot before you bring it to pressure. This will add a delicious smoky and salty element to your bow. Thicken it up. I go into detail below on different ways to thicken this soup recipe, but for a more hearty bite, consider using one of them. Add some veggies. Soups are a great way to sneak more veggies into your diet. If you want to add more nutrition to each bite, feel free to add broccoli, cauliflower, peas, or even carrots. Get creative with the garnish. This is where the magic happens. You can be as creative as you want when topping your bowl of potato soup. I prefer bacon, cheese, and a sprinkle of green onion over mine.
How Do You Make Potato Soup Thicker?
If you’re a fan of thicker soups, there are two different ways to make this Instant Pot Potato soup even thicker. The first way doesn’t require any additional ingredients, so it doesn’t impact the macros listed below in the recipe card. After the potatoes and broth are cooked under pressure, use the back of a spoon to smash some of the potato chunks before adding in the rest of the ingredients. The second way is to add some cream cheese. Just adding a couple of ounces of cream cheese to your potato and broth and allowing it to melt will make your soup significantly thicker. Be sure to adjust the macros per serving to include the cream cheese if you make this modification.
How Long Does The Instant Pot Take To Get To Pressure For Soup?
The amount of time it takes for a soup recipe to come to pressure in the Instant Pot isn’t a cookie-cutter number. There are many variables that can impact how long it takes for your Instant Pot to come to pressure. The amount of liquid you have inside your pot and the temperature of the ingredients added to the pot can significantly impact the time to come to pressure. The more liquid you have or the cooler your ingredients are, the longer it will take. The average amount of time it takes an Instant Pot to come to pressure for soup is 10 minutes, but it can range from 5 to 15 minutes.
What To Serve With Loaded Potato Soup
While this Instant Pot Potato Soup is incredibly filling and is great served alone, it also has a tasty creamy broth that is great for dipping. Try dipping one of these things for a comforting bite:
