Whether it is a cold winter day or a quick summer night and you need comfort food, this Quick and Easy Instant Pot Potato Soup is perfect! It is one of my favorites and one of my go-to recipes.
I love whipping this together and throwing it in the Instant Pot. It is ready in no time with very little effort. SCORE!
Have I mentioned that I LOVE my Instant Pot??? I use it at least once a week! Check out my other Instant Pot Recipes.
All you need is a 5 pound bag of russet potatoes, chicken broth, milk, butter, and your toppings.
Toppings can be anything! We like bacon bits and freshly crated cheese. I also add red pepper to mine. I am sure Sour Cream and Chives would be good too.
