This Instant Pot Potato Soup ROCKS!

My family ate every last drop. It really does have great flavor and is a super comforting homemade meal! Plus, you can’t go wrong preparing it in the Instant Pot for convenience!

Tip: If you’d like to make this soup in a slow cooker instead, try cooking potatoes, onion, garlic, and broth on LOW for about 5-6 hours, then adding the rest of the ingredients and cooking for another 30 minutes.

    Thank you so much… I have been super sick and nothing sounds good. But this sounds amazing and fairly easy! Much appreciated

    • Lina (Hip's Modern Martha)

      Sure Heather-Feel better soon!

  2. Deb

    Oh, Lina, you have made my son very happy by posting this! Thanks!!!!!!!!

    • Lina (Hip's Modern Martha)

      Oh good- enjoy!

  3. Tina

    Thanks for the recipe. I’m getting ready to buy one. Do you have the 6 quart pot? Maybe other can chime in, I can’t decide between 6 or 8.I have 4 in my family.

    • Lina (Hip's Modern Martha)

      Yes I have a 6 ~

    • RZ

      We’re a family of 4 and the 6 qt. is plenty big. I cook in bulk quite often and it’s never been too small. I make whole chickens in it all the time, too. Also it’s much easier to find parts and accessories for the 6 qt. vs. the 8 qt. Hope that helps!

      • Tina

        Thank you

  4. candace

    I wonder how this would be with sweet potatoes? More healthy obviously but then I can skip a trip to the store!

    • Lina (Hip's Modern Martha)

      Oh ya interesting! You could even season it differently with paprika and cumin
      Great idea Candace!

  5. Marie

    I just got an instant pot thanks to Hip2save and I really appreciate this recipe as well. It looks so good and it will be the first thing I make in it. (Love your awesome photos also.) Thanks!

    • Lina (Hip's Modern Martha)

      How exciting! Thanks so much Marie πŸ˜€

  6. Mary

    I would like to Pin this…is that an option?

    • Lina (Hip's Modern Martha)

      Hi Mary- are you reading the recipe from the app? If so, press the upper right box with arrow and see if a Pinterest icon comes up as an option to pin on your device.
      It’s actually easiest to pin from the actual link

      Hope that helps ☝🏻️

      • Mary

        Pinned from the link. Thank you! Can’t wait to try it! πŸ˜ƒ

  7. Rosita TD

    We are a family of 3 adults…4 from time to time. So I am wondering if the 5qt is large enough for a meal…and cooking a whole chicken. There is very little room in the counters so 2 pots would not be a good solution.
    Please let me know soon…before the specials are over.

    TY

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      I have the 6 quart with 4 people in my family and find it large enough. Hope that helps!

    • SunnyPatchMomma

      I just cooked a 4.7 lb chicken in the 6 qt IP and had plenty of room. It easily fed four of us too. I also did two racks of ribs cooked in it and that fed I think 6-7 of us too.

  8. Laura

    Thank you for adding ways to make this in a slow cooker – I don’t have an instant pot

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      oh sure- enjoy! I love this soup.

  9. Toni

    Thank you. This tasted pretty good. I added red pepper flakes and some starch/water to try and thicken it. I think next time I’ll use whipping cream to make it thicker or the day before.

  10. patricialavenz-goff

    I am going to make it in my crockpot. Thanks for sharing. I have crockpots and my mothers pressure cooker and use them all the time. Don’t have those new fangled pots though. Can’t teach an old dog new tricks I guess.

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Ha well I’m sure it’s delicious πŸ˜‹ either way! Enjoy ❣️
