This Instant Pot Potato Soup Recipe is just so good! I love the potato soups at many of the chain restaurants, and this reminds me of it very much…except that it’s so much better! While I have nothing against restaurant food – I love dining out as much as the next person – there’s just something about homemade food that really hits the spot! And of course, there’s the added benefit of having leftovers when you make it yourself!
Oh….and this Instant Pot Potato Soup Recipe has bacon, and who doesn’t like bacon!? I guess vegetarians and vegans, but this recipe is clearly not for them….

Recipe is missing a couple of instructions:
when is the 2 cups of water used? didn’t add it, doesn’t seem to need it…
and the addition of the carrots is not in the instructions, either. I assume they go in with the potatoes.
