    Instant Pot Loaded Baked Potato Soup

    With the Holidays here, I don’t know about you, but my schedule has been crazy busy. Trying to get the kids to their school programs, decorate the house, Holiday baking, shopping, and more…. not much time has been focused on dinner. Thank goodness for my Instant Pot because I can have dinner on the table in no time, with little to no work involved!

    As I have mentioned before, my hubby isn’t a huge soup fan. So sad, right, lol?!! If I do make soup, he prefers them hearty and more stew like. He does however LOVE chowders and potato soups, so I knew he’d enjoy this.

    I whipped this up from start to finish in about 15 minutes and all of the kids and hubby scraped their bowls clean. Everyone took leftovers the next day in their thermos’ at school and work too! Not only was clean up a breeze (one pot), but since I saved time on dinner prep/cook, I was able to get more accomplished in my day!

    I love a loaded soup, so I added crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, and green onions. If you’re not a fan of one (or all) of those though, you can easily omit! May I even suggest a dollop of sour cream on top prior to serving??!! However you load it up, it’ll be a hit!

    Best part, if leftovers aren’t your thing, you can always stick in an airtight container and freeze for a later date!

    Ingredients Needed for Instant Pot Loaded Potato Soup:

    Butter- margarine or olive oil would work as well

    Onion- diced

    Garlic- minced, fresh is best

    Chicken Broth- feel free to use vegetable broth if desired

    Cream of Chicken Soup- you can also use cream cheese or sour cream in place of this

    Russet Potatoes- peeled and diced

    Salt/Pepper- to taste, add more or less depending on preference

    Milk- feel free to use any non-dairy milk if needed as well

    Flour- cornstarch also works in place of flour

    Cheese- shredded cheddar cheese

    Bacon- cooked/crumbled *for a flavor boost, use Jalapeno bacon

    *See recipe card below for exact measurements

    How to prepare:

    Add butter to IP and turn on sauté function.
    Once melted, add in the onions and allow to sauté for about 3 minutes.
    Add in the garlic and allow to cook for about 1 minute, stirring frequently as to avoid burning.
    Add in the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, potatoes, salt, and pepper.
    Place lid securely on and ensure valve is on sealing position.
    Turn off sauté function and switch to manual, high pressure for 10 minutes.
    Once complete, do a quick release.
    As pressure is releasing, combine the flour and milk together in a small bowl.
    Once the steam has completely released and pin drops, remove lid and stir in the milk/flour mixture.
    Turn the sauté function back on and allow to heat for about 5 minutes.
    Stir in the 2 cups cheddar cheese. Once melted, serve soup in bowls with desired garnishes.

    What to serve with Loaded Potato Soup

    This soup is incredibly flavorful and hearty, so it definitely can be served on its own. It pairs well with a light sandwich, wrap or salad. Because it’s heavier, I’d recommend serving it with something a bit lighter. A crusty bread or side salad are great options too!

    Storing and Reheating

    This loaded baked potato soup will last in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in airtight container. Make sure to store any toppings separately. To reheat, simply place in a pot on the stove over low heat. Microwaving this for a few minutes also works!
    Unfortunately, this soup doesn’t seem to freeze well due to the consistency turning too liquid like and turning mushy.
