Instant Pot Potato Soup

You can't have too many Instant Pot recipes right? Especially Instant Pot soup recipes. And I instantly fell in love with those one after one spoonful!

It's creamy, it's rich, it's cheesy and how could it not be good? It has bacon! This is one of those recipes I'll use time and time again because my family loves it and I love how simple it is to throw together.

How to Make Instant Pot Potato Soup

• To start you'll melt a few tablespoons butter in the Instant Pot on the saute setting.
• Then add in onions and celery and saute briefly, following that add in some chicken broth, potatoes, carrots and season with salt and pepper and cancel that saute setting.
• Cover and seal then let cook on manual/high pressure for 9 minutes. Then once time is up you'll let pressure come down for 5 minutes and do a quick release - because we're hungry right?
• Then set back pressure cooker to the saute setting once more and next stir in a milk and cornstarch mixture along with some cream cheese (yum!). This will thicken it up and add more flavor.
• It will simmer for a minute then, and now bring on those delicious toppings! Note that it will thicken even more as it cools, soup will be very hot at this point so I like to let it rest for a little while.

Chicken Noodle Soup in the Instant Pot

When you're sick what's the only thing you want? Chicken noodle soup. Okay and if you're me maybe some ice cream to wash it down.

But really homemade chicken noodle soup is one of my go-to dinners and not just for sick days.

It's so nice to sit down to a big bowl of this after a long day.

Plus I love that my whole family loves chicken noodle soup so I make it a lot. I don't get the "Mom, how many more bites" 30 seconds after we've sate down to eat.

My kids actually even request it for dinner.

And we love it with some fresh toasted and buttered sourdough bread. Bread and soup just go hand in hand don't they?

A Homestyle Spaghetti for Your Instant Pot Recipes Collection

I don't know maybe that was just me but I got an Instant Pot from my mother-law for Christmas a year ago then I didn't start using it until the summer because I thought there would be this learning curve or something.

They really are so easy to use and they're pretty much idiot-proof. I love how they cut cooking time, especially with meat. (If you're interested in getting one btw you can purchase on Amazon HERE).

Last year I mostly made these shredded chicken tacos in my Instant Pot. I've also made "baked" potatoes and rice and a few other things.

I want to use it more this year so I thought I'd try out one of my go-to weeknight dinners - classic All-American spaghetti in it.
