Instant Pot Frozen Potato Soup Recipes

INSTANT POT POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Pour the bacon bits into the bottom of the Instant Pot. I don't typically measure, and just use about half of the little Bacon Bits bag. If desired, set the Instant Pot to saute for 2-4 to help crisp up the bacon.
• Pour the chicken broth/stock into the pot, followed by the cream of chicken soup. Give the Instant Pot contents a gentle stir to distribute the cream of chicken soup.
• Pour the frozen hash brown potatoes gently over the soup. Add the cream cheese to the Instant Pot and gently poke it down under the surface of the soup and potatoes. For best results, cut the cream cheese into 8 equal slices.
• Put the lid onto the Instant Pot, and set it to cook at high pressure for 15 minutes. When cooking time has finished, allow the pressure to release naturally.
• Top with shredded cheese, bacon bits, and/or green onion if desired!

POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• On a 6 quart Instant Pot®, select the Saute setting. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, stirring often. Remove the bacon to a paper towel. Pour off the fat. Add the yellow onion and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook and stir for 30 seconds. Press Cancel.
• Add the potatoes and broth. Lock the lid and close the pressure release valve. Pressure cook on High pressure, setting the timer to 6 minutes (timer will begin counting down once pressure is reached- it takes about 15 minutes). When done, press Cancel and use the quick release method to release the pressure.
• Stir in the sour cream. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup in the pot until desired consistency. Season to taste. Serve topped with the cheese, bacon and green onion. Top with additional sour cream, if desired.

INSTANT POT® FROZEN POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Pour chicken broth into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add O'Brien potatoes. Dollop chicken soup over the potatoes. Place cream cheese on top of the chicken soup. Do not stir.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Use the quick-release method to release remaining pressure. Add Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and black pepper. Stir to incorporate.
