- 1 pound kielbasa smoked sausage, sliced
- 1 32-ounce low-sodium chicken broth
- 6 Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Press SAUTE on the Instant Pot, and when it reads Hot, add the butter and onions, and cook until slightly soft, stirring frequently.
- Add the kielbasa, and cook until lightly browned. Hit Cancel, and stir in chicken broth, and use wooden spoon or spatula to deglaze pot, if necessary
- Add potatoes, sea salt, garlic powder and pepper. Place lid on Instant Pot, turn vent to Sealing position, and hit PRESSURE COOK for 4 minutes
- Pot will take several minutes to reach pressure, then start counting down and cook for 4 minutes. When pot beeps, do a gradual quick release to prevent liquid from spraying out of pot
- When pin drops, remove lid, and stir in cream. Gradually add cheese, and stir well until cheese is melted
- Serve immediately, and top with crumbled cooked bacon and extra cheese, if desired
Notes
This recipe was made in a 6-quart Instant Pot electric pressure cooker. No change is needed if using a larger pot.
For a thicker soup, you can mash the potatoes slightly after cooking. For extra texture, use a mix of cubed and slightly larger potato pieces.
