Creamy Potato Soup is ultimate comfort food – and when you can make it in under TEN minutes? Then it’s just that much better!
Baked Potato Soup is one of our favorite meals … and we were fortunate enough to have Potatoes in our CSA this past week, which made it the perfect opportunity to make in our Instant Pot.
The best part about this soup is that it takes a mere TEN minutes to cook, and that includes peeling potatoes.
Cooking the potatoes in a steamer basket allowed the potatoes to infuse with the flavor from the butter, onions, & garlic – in the end, it was smooth and creamy, and even better topped with cheese.
