20. Instant Pot Potato Soup
If you’re inclined towards stuffed baked potatoes, this rich and creamy Instant Pot potato soup, adorned with finely chopped chives, shredded cheddar, crispy bacon pieces, and sour cream, is sure to win your heart. It will keep you cozy and simplify your weekday meals since everything gets cooked within the Instant Pot, saving you from extra cleaning duties!
Russet potatoes are the primary ingredient in this recipe—this commonly found potato is starchy and disintegrates when cooked—its grainy consistency thickens the soup wonderfully. You can, however, replace them with Yukon gold potatoes. These semi-firm/semi-starchy potatoes give a pleasing color and buttery taste to the soup. You’ll just need to double the quantity since they are typically smaller than russets. The magic of this soup lies in the fact that the bacon pieces are cooked in the Instant Pot before the addition of the rest of the ingredients. The resultant fat infuses the soup with a fantastic smoky, rich flavor. You’ll also utilize the sauté function of your Instant Pot to prepare the shallots and the other ingredients that form the soup.
The soup is sufficiently filling to serve as a standalone dish—just complement the meal with a basic green salad. Arrange the bacon pieces, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and chives and let each person garnish their soup bowl. For an added touch, accompany the soup with some crusty bread for mopping up every last drop, or serve the soup within a bread bowl.
19. Simple Butternut Squash Soup
In this interpretation, I’ve bypassed the garlic and included a chopped apple to the roasting process. Afterward, I decided against the coconut milk, incorporated ground sage and apple cider vinegar, and garnished it with crispy bacon bits.
This rendition might just top my list. (And if you’re up for pushing it a notch higher, sprinkle some finely grated sharp cheddar cheese. You’ll thank me later.)
Pretty straightforward, isn’t it? Ready for a revelation? You can use the same fundamental recipe and replace the squash with cauliflower or tomatoes. It’s a game-changer!
Have you had a chance to try Erica’s Butternut, Sausage, & Tortellini Soup? It’s a hearty twist on the classic butternut squash soup! Plus, her hack for roasting an entire garlic clove inside the squash cavity is genius.
The comprehensive recipe for this Simplified Roasted Butternut Squash Soup (inclusive of variations!) can be found below. Here’s to a delightful soup season!
18. Instant Pot French Onion Soup
Were there to be an official catalogue of “Top 10 Enthralling Kitchen Aromas,” the whiff of a simmering pot of French onion soup would surely claim a top spot. This scent is even more potent when prepared in your Instant Pot. (Truly, brace yourself for the scent explosion upon pressure release.) The highlight of this recipe is that it spares you the anxiety of getting the onions caramelized to that flawless golden hue. While they may not achieve the same dark, sticky consistency as when cooked on the stovetop, the pressure cooking method guarantees no compromise on the depth of flavor inherent to this traditional soup.
17. Hearty Split Pea Soup
Venture beyond the usual pea soup and experiment with this unique recipe that combines split peas with corned beef. It brings forth a peppery essence rather than the typical smoky hint, providing a refreshing and tasty twist.
16. Lemony Turkey Rice Soup
During my childhood in Texas, I was often by my grandmother’s side, assisting her with cooking. The distinct flavors of lemon and cilantro lend an unexpected and delightful spin to the traditional turkey soup.
