One of the best things about owning an instant pot is the sheer amount of soups and stews you can effortlessly make. In fact, it wasn’t until I first bought my instant pot that I regularly started to make soups through the week. Today I’m going to be sharing a recipe for one of my go to soups as of late—a creamy and comforting instant pot potato soup. It’s requires only a handful of whole food ingredients, but the resulting soup delivers in a big way.
