Creamy Rosemary Potato Soup. When describing a recipe, the first characteristic that I would normally discuss, is how the food tastes. Of course, food is all about the taste! The only reason to expend effort to prepare a special recipe is the end result, the yum factor. In this case, the basic recipe is simple--potato soup with onions, garlic and rosemary cooked in an Instant Pot. It is very appealing when you are hungry because it only requires six ingredients and is ready in less than thirty minutes. In this case, the rosemary was amazing....it smelled divine when the soup was cooking, and tasted delicious in the soup--there is something about the Instant Pot that infuses flavor into whatever is cooking in it. Potatoes and rosemary are a perfect combination for a comforting warm bowl of soup. Vegan, gluten free and dairy free.

Why Instant Pot Cooking Is Great For Soup
Fall is almost here, and we are getting ready to prepare cozy, comfort food, and that means soup. Soup has a whole new game now that the Instant Pot allows us to make delicious, creamy soup in far less time than traditional stove top or crock pot methods. The pressure cooking method steeps and enhances the flavor into the dish. Here, the rosemary is immersed in the potatoes, and the result is so yummy. One of the other advantages of cooking soup in the Instant Pot, is that it is one pot cooking. Simply chop your vegetables and herbs, add your liquids and spices, toss into the Instant Pot, and cook. One pot to cook and one pot to clean. How great is that?
