Instant Pot Bacon Cheddar Potato Soup #Recipe

We'd love it if you shared it!

I love rich and creamy soups, and potato based soups are some of my favorites. But, cooking the potatoes is not one of my favorite things, because if I’m doing it on the stove top it takes a while. So, I thought I’d try my hand at making some in the Instant Pot. I loved the resulting soup. It was super warming and filling, and was perfect for the chilly evening. Here’s how I made it.

• Instant Pot pressure cooker (I used the 6 qt model)
• Instant Pot glass lid – I love this lid because it keeps the food warm while I’m serving or while we’re eating
• Instant Pot silicone lid – This lid is for food storage purposes. It will enable you to store your Instant Pot in the fridge, keeping your meal or leftovers covered and fresh.
• Instant Pot silicone mitts
• silicone spoon
• measuring cup – I like the Pyrex glass measuring cups. They are super easy to read, wash well, and are very sturdy when placed on the counter.
• knife –
• cutting board

Ingredients

• 32 oz frozen diced potatoes
• 2x 10.5 oz cans cream of chicken soup
• 8 oz cream cheese
• 4 oz shredded bacon
• 8 oz shredded sharp cheddar
• 32 oz hot water
• 4 chicken boullion cubes
• 1 tbsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp garlic powder

Instructions

Place the potatoes into the Instant Pot. (I lightly sprayed the pot with nonstick cooking spray first.)

Combine the boullion cubes with the hot water and then add that to the pot.

Add the cans of cream of chicken soup, cream cheese, bacon, onion powder and garlic powder.

Stir well.

Set the pressure cooker to soup, which is 10 minutes.

Once that is finished, open the Instant Pot and add the shredded cheddar.

Set to manual 5 minutes and cook, stirring occasionally.

Serve immediately.
