Substitute for yukon gold potatoes in soup:

Instead of yellow potatoes or yukon gold potatoes, you can also use russet potatoes to make this easy, delicious and creamy potato soup with cream cheese!

Also, you may substitute yukon gold potatoes with white potatoes, creamer potatoes or small baby yellow potatoes to make this potato soup!

Substitute for cream cheese in soup:

If you do not have cream cheese, you may simply skip the cheese since it will still be delicious with milk, butter, potatoes and seasonings.

To make it cheesy, you can use shredded cheddar cheese as well, just like you use in soups like cheddar broccoli soup!

Can you make this potato soup on stove top?

Yes, just boil the potatoes in stove top until they are soft enough to be mashed.

When you boil the potatoes on stove top, it is a good idea to boil it in water instead of milk, and later add enough milk unless you use a large pan or pot which will not cause the milk boil over while you cook.

Also, it is easy to boil diced (cubed) potatoes to make it cook faster!

Once the potatoes are cooked well enough to be mashed, drain the water used for cooking (save about a cup for the soup), add milk, butter and then proceed as in the recipe for the remaining directions.

So here is how you can make easy, delicious and creamy potato soup with cream cheese!

How To Make Potato Soup With Cream Cheese In Instant Pot?

To make easy, delicious yukon gold potato soup in instant pot pressure cooker, we use the following ingredients.

Ingredients

yukon gold potatoes 6 large (or use russet potatoes)

water 1 cup

milk 2 cups

salt adjust to taste

corn kernels ¼ cup (optional)

butter 1 stick

cream cheese 8 oz

heavy cream ½ cup

garlic powder 1 teaspoon

onion powder 1 teaspoon

white pepper ½ teaspoon (optional, adjust to your taste)

Step by step instructions

Wash the potatoes very well, peel the potatoes and place them in the inner pot of instant pot pressure cooker.

Add milk, water, butter, salt, corn (if using) and seasonings, close the instant pot with lid in sealing position.

Cook in high pressure for 30 minutes.

Once the cooking is done, press cancel and wait for a natural pressure release.

Once the pressure is all released, carefully open the instant pot lid.

Using a potato masher, carefully mash the cooked yukon gold potatoes.

You do not need to mash this a lot, as little chunks of potatoes are great for the best soup texture.

Place the cream cheese block also in the instant pot, mash the cheese using the potato masher and stir well to combine with the soup.

Alternatively, you can add the cream cheese to the boiled potatoes and mash the boiled potatoes and cream cheese together also which is even more easier!
