It took me a while to get sold on the idea of an Instant Pot, but now that I have one, I’m not looking back. It’s easy to use, and perfect for fall and winter soups and stews. One of my favorite soups is potato soup. While there are lots of different options, my favorite is a thick, creamy soup loaded with cheese and finished with sour cream with some crusty bread on the side. I know it’s not the most nutritionally sound option, but it’s comforting on a chilly night.
Since I often drizzle hot sauce on my potato soup, I thought I could make a version with the heat cooked right in, and that’s where the Hot Roasted Garlic comes in. One of my favorite seasoning blends from Ava Jane’s Kitchen, it’s a ramped up version of red pepper flakes. It’s hot, but not so much that all you can taste is heat — the mellow roasted garlic rounds it out beautifully. I love using it on potatoes, so it only makes sense that it would be good in potato soup.
There’s not much to this soup, and since it’s all made right in your Instant Pot, there’s no guesswork, and virtually no cleanup.

I BEEN WANTING A INSTANT POT HOWEVER, I DON’T KNOW WHAT KIND TO BUY. WHAT KIND DID YOU BUY. PLEASE SHARE THE KIND OF INSTANT POT YOU BROUGHT. THANK YOU.
Hi Mary –
I don’t know a lot about the Instant Pot, but I bought the most basic inexpensive model I could find since I don’t think I need all the features that come on some of the new ones. A quick Google search should help you determine which features you may want. You can also make the potato soup in a pot on the stove — just follow the recipe and when you get the point of pressure cooking, just let the potatoes simmer until they are tender, and then continue. Should turn out fine.
