You guys have to try this Instant Pot Cheesy Potato Soup! Top it with a little bit of bacon and you have a creamy soup done in 7 minutes!
Creamy, cheesy soups have always been one of my most favorite things, and this Instant Pot Cheesy Potato Soup is no different. Loads of sweet onion, potatoes, and sharp cheddar cheese make this soup super warm and comforting.
But I think the thing that makes this recipe spectacular is the addition of dried dill weed and Worcestershire sauce. These two ingredients add so much flavor and add a bit of a different twist that you haven't tried before.
Cooking Tips for this Instant Pot Cheesy Potato Soup
- Don't have an Instant Pot? No problem! Make this Cheesy Potato Soup on the stovetop by following the directions through adding the potatoes. At which point you'll bring the pot to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender. You'll then stir in the cheese, half and half and rest of the ingredients.
- Want to switch up the flavors? Using different cheeses (smoked, sharp, mild, pepper) will change the flavor of the finished soup substantially. Play with different cheeses and find a combination you LOVE.

Tools I Use For Instant Pot Stuffed Bell Pepper Soup:
- The Instant Pot 🙂 : This is the model that I have and LOVE. My Instant Pot has been with me for over a year and I’ve definitely put it through the ringer, but still works like new! It’s changed the dinnertime routine at our house and helps me make meals in under an hour that used to take HOURS!
- OXO Handheld Slicer: I love this little tool when making soup because it slices small amounts of veggies quickly and easily and I don’t have to dirty a cutting board– I just slice right over the pot! I especially love it for carrots and celery.

This was the best potato soup I've ever made. I used 2 cups 2% Velveeta and 2 packages low fat cream cheese. I used low-fat butter and hot paprika. It was amazing!!
The potato soup was delicious! I was a little skeptical about the dill and smoked paprika, but it added so much! One question: how do you keep the cheese from separating? It’s not as smooth as I’d like, but really good, nonetheless.
