In reply to Denice Parsons. Thanks Denice - instant mashed potatoes is a great idea for thickening this soup. Love your other ideas as well.

I have made this several times! We change it up a little each time!! One thing we did change completely:
Flour and cornstarch add a different flavor, so we don’t use. Instead, we use, dare I say it, instant mashed taters to thicken.

We also love it with fresh asparagus, instead of corn. I add bacon, chive and a dollop of sour cream to each bowl, before serving! Also a great warm French baguette is a good accompaniment. 😍

This soup is one of my husband and my favorites! It is delicious! I usually use ham instead of bacon but we love bacon too. Very easy to make!

In reply to Glinda. Thanks Glinda - glad the soup was a hit! For my recipes, generally, the prep time is the time before you start pressure cooking, so the saute time, etc. and not the time it takes to prep the ingredients since that time varies so much from person to person.

This is delicious and well worth the time. But I don’t know anyone who peels and dices 6 cups of potatoes, grates cheese, cubes cream cheese, chops onions & gathers & measures the seasonings as well as the broth and half and half in 10 minutes! LOL! I know I’m probably slower than many but it took me at least 30 mts. Nonetheless, a very worthwhile recipe to make and I thank you for sharing! I plan to make another batch and put in the freezer.

There’s a brand new 8 qt. NuWave Pressure Cooker sitting in my kitchen. It was time to put it to use. My husband has been asking for potato soup, which I usually make in a slow cooker. This time the pressure cooker was put to use. Happy I found your recipe, as it is a winner. Did make a couple of changes. Because didn’t have half and half, I used sour cream as a replacement. Don’t know what it tastes like with 1/2 and 1/2, but sour cream worked well for us. Also, I didn’t have a way to do the potatoes in the pressure cooker, so par boiled them. This worked out good. The potatoes are not mushy, and have a little “back bone.” Didn’t put in corn as it fights with my husband’s digestion. Did add garlic and Italian seasoning. Overall, it’s getting kudos from the hugs. I’m a 75 y.o. lady who loves to cook and bake. So this pressure cooker will send me to new avenues. This recipe will certainly go into the recipe notebook. I print out recipes and put them in a three ring binder. When I’m using them, they go on a hanger in my kitchen cupboard. See you later, and thank you.

In reply to Sheryl. Thanks Sheryl - it's one of my favorite soups too. I often freeze it in individual portions. The potatoes get a little bit soft but the soup freezes and reheats very well.
