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!

Instant Pot Potato Soup Recipe
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….
This potato soup recipe reminds me of the baked potato soup you would get at restaurants like Chilis and Outback Steakhouse. I love making potato soup at home – even those canned soups like Campbell’s sometimes really hit the spot, right? They are so hearty and filling, potato soup is just one of those classic comfort foods, much like chicken and dumplings or chicken noodle soups!

WHY YOU SHOULD GET A SLOW COOKER TO MAKE THIS SLOW COOKER Instant Pot Potato Soup Recipe!
I absolutely love slow cooker and crock pot recipes because they free up so much of my time. I just pop everything into the slow cooker in the morning and by dinner time, it’s all set! This Instant Pot Potato Soup Recipe is perfect for those days when I am having friends or a date over for dinner and I really don’t feel like spending a ton of time preparing for a meal…especially since I do not have a dishwasher! Washing dishes by hand?
Slow cooker recipes are perfect for that because there aren’t as many dishes! It is so nice to have just ONE thing to clean up after dinner (besides the plates and utensils, of course). You can even be lazy and throw the slow cooker into the fridge with the leftovers and not have to clean it right away. I went from a traditional slow cooker to a Instant Pot and now I have graduated to a Ninja Foodie….it is a slow cooker, pressure cooker AND an air fryer all in one! I threw out the old slow cooker and gave my air fryer and instant pot to Angeline.

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.
