Instant Pot Baked Potato Soup

This Instant Pot soup recipe is quick and easy!

If you like loaded baked potatoes you’re going to love this soup.

Plus it’s a lightened up, healthier version.

How I lightened it up:

A lot of baked potato soups have heavy cream in them. I didn’t add any heavy cream.

Instead, I mixed together flour and skim milk. That helped give the soup a creamy taste and thicken it up.

I also left out the butter. As much as I love butter it adds a lot of calories and fat.

Rather than using regular bacon I used center cut bacon.

How to make Instant Pot Baked Potato Soup:

Most things cooked in the Instant Pot are really easy and this soup is no exception.

The first thing I did was peeled and diced the potatoes. Add them to the Instant Pot with 4 cups of chicken broth.

Next, I diced the onion and added it to the Instant Pot.

I chopped up two pieces of bacon and added it to the pot.

Mince two cloves of garlic and add it to the pot as well.

Secure the Instant Pot lid and make sure the valve is set to seal. Press the pressure cook button and set the time to 5 minutes.

Once the time is up do a quick release of pressure.

In a small bowl add the flour. Slowly whisk in the skim milk making sure there are no lumps.

Stir the mixture into the potato soup. Turn the Instant Pot to sauté and cook for 3 minutes while stirring.

Once the soup has thickened it’s ready to eat.

I like to top it with some reduced fat cheddar cheese, green onions and bacon pieces.

What to serve with Instant Pot Baked Potato Soup:

One of the things I love about this soup (besides it being delicious) is how filling it is.

If I’m having it for dinner I like to pair it with something else.

These are some of my go-to favorites:

• Ham and cheese sandwich
• A low point salad
• Pretzel rolls
• Dinner rolls
• Baked chicken
