Loaded Potato Soup – Instant Pot

This is a super easy recipe for a quick hearty meal. I like to serve this with cheesy garlic biscuits and a green salad.

This recipe can be just as easily made if you don’t have an Instant Pot by following same directions but cook on stovetop on high until boiling and then simmering until potatoes are tender.

Ingredients:

• 2 Tbsp Butter
• 1 Medium to Large Onion – chopped
• 4 Cloves Garlic – minced
• 6 to 8 Medium Potatoes – cut into 1″ cubes
• 1 Can Cream of Chicken Soup (if you do not have this add 1 cup of chicken broth now and 1Tbsp of extra cornstarch or flour later)
• 3 Cups Chicken Broth
• Salt – to taste
• Pepper- to taste
• 1 cup Milk
• 3 Tbsp Cornstarch (can use flour if needed)
• 2 cups Cheddar Cheese

Toppings:

• Cooked bacon – chopped
• Green Onions – chopped
• Cheddar Cheese – shredded

Turn Instant Pot on sautee and melt butter. Add onions and cook until soft. Add garlic, stir and turn pot off.

Add potatoes, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, salt and pepper. Stir together. Put lid on and make sure vent is sealed. Cook on manual high pressure for 12 minutes.

While cooking, mix milk and cornstarch together.

When done, quick release pressure. Once steam is done releasing remove lid and turn to sautee. Add milk mixture, stir, cook for about 5 minutes until thickened.

Serve topped with bacon and green onions.
