PERUVIAN POTATO SOUP RECIPES

Steps:

• On a 6 quart Instant Pot®, select the Saute setting. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, stirring often. Remove the bacon to a paper towel. Pour off the fat. Add the yellow onion and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook and stir for 30 seconds. Press Cancel.
• Add the potatoes and broth. Lock the lid and close the pressure release valve. Pressure cook on High pressure, setting the timer to 6 minutes (timer will begin counting down once pressure is reached- it takes about 15 minutes). When done, press Cancel and use the quick release method to release the pressure.
• Stir in the sour cream. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup in the pot until desired consistency. Season to taste. Serve topped with the cheese, bacon and green onion. Top with additional sour cream, if desired.

Steps:

• Set Instant Pot to Sauté, and melt butter. Add onion and cook until soft, 5 minutes, then add garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Add potatoes and broth, and secure lid. Set to Pressure Cook/Manual on High for 8 minutes. Follow manufacturer’s instructions to quick release, then remove lid.
• In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons milk and cornstarch to make a slurry.
• Set Instant Pot to Sauté. Pour in slurry, remaining 1 cup of milk, and heavy cream. Let boil about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with cheddar, bacon, and chives before serving.
