How to Make Instant Pot Potato Bacon Soup Creamy:
This Instant Potato Bacon soup is actually very creamy as made without cream cheese and is thickened without flour.
To cook potato bacon soup in the Instant Pot it only requires 10 minutes of cooking time with the Instant Pot dial on the manual setting.
Best potatoes to make soup:
For this recipe, you can use red potatoes, white potatoes, russet or yukon. White or red potatoes are recommended for soup because they are low in starch and they hold their shape better than other potatoes after cooking. Some people even love to keep skin-on on the soup, it’s just a matter of preference.
How to thicken soup without flour:
To thicken this soup, i use sour cream, milk and parts of the soup itself as the thickener. Simply take about ⅔ part of soup and use hand blender to puree. If you are going to puree with your countertop blender, be sure to fill the blender no more than halfway, and blend in batches as needed. Also be sure to keep the lid on for several seconds after you finish to prevent burning yourself.
I didn’t thicken the soup with flour. I just used my blender to puree the cooked potatoes. If you think the soup is still too thin for your taste, feel free to use a separate bowl and add about 3 tablespoons of starch (like flour or cornstarch) into a portion of the broth. By separating it out prior to whisking it into the soup tit prevents the starch from clumping. Also be sure to do this process at the very last minutes prior to serving.
