Do you have to cook potatoes before putting them in soup?
Here are the instructions
I started by placing some carrots, celery and potatoes in my Instant Pot with the 2 cups water. My vegetables were from a local farm and I had pre-cut them and placed them in the freezer for soups. I didn’t measure but if I had to guess I used 1 cup of each. I placed them into the Instant Pot frozen, no need to cook or thaw. You can follow the same process using a slow cooker or crock pot.
I turned the Instant Pot on slow cook for 4 hours. This would be to make sure the vegetables were fork tender before moving on.
Next I added the Mad Dash Mixes pack and stirred it in. This gives the soup so much flavor!
I then set the Instant Pot on soup and it pressure cooked for approximately 30 minutes.
I slowly stirred in the 2 cups of milk.
I put the lid back on and placed on warm until it was time to eat.
I sprinkled the cheese on top just before dishing into the bowls. You could also add green onions or bacon as a garnish.
