Instant pot cheesy cauliflower potato soup
Our garden potato towers and barrels gave us a good load of spuds to use up this winter. We grew mostly white and red potato and a few purple potatoes too! Our cauliflower crop was pretty minor this year so I bought a medium head to add to this dinner. Potatoes and cauliflower are great together with the cheese and bacon. Yum! and easy 🙂

Instant pot cheesy cauliflower potato soup
My Instant pot is pretty much my new kitchen BFF. I used to bestow that title to my crock pot. I love cooking easy healthy meals that are ready without fuss right at mealtime. After I cracked my third crock pot in less than two years it became clear I needed a different cooking option. This Instant Pot is it! Stainless steel cooking pot and seven different function keys has won my heart!
And look what a great soup it made in very little time. The hardest part of this recipe is to peel the potatoes. If you don’t mind the skins and have organic potatoes peeling them is absolutely optional.
Instant pot cheesy cauliflower potato soup is a creamy thick soup full of cheese and bacon for extra flavor.
