Instant Pot Creamy Potato Hamburger Soup

 Ok, when my husband sent me this recipe, the name threw me off a little. I thought how on earth can this be everything I want it to be? Well, I paired it with a salad and some fruit and we had maybe a small bowl of leftovers. I think every kid got seconds. My husband and son might have even gotten 3rds. This recipe came from 365 Days of Crockpot and is not one to be looked over. Here’s how I adjusted it for our family.


Instant Pot Creamy Potato Hamburger Soup

  • 1 1/4 lb ground beef
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 tsp garlic
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 8ish yellow potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 carrots, sliced
  • 4 celery ribs, sliced
  • 1 tbsp dried basil
  • 2 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 1/2 (8 ounce) bricks of cream cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups warmed milk
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Turn your instant pot to sauté and brown the ground beef and onion with the garlic and salt. Once cooked, drain off any extra grease.

Add the chicken stock and scrape the bottom of the pot.

Add the potatoes, carrots, celery, basil, and parsley to the pot.

Put the lid on the pot and secure. Make sure the valve is set to seal. 

Set pressure to high for 3 minutes. When the time is up, let it sit for another 10 minutes before releasing the pressure.

Mix the warm milk, and cornstarch in a small mixing bowl. I always us a large coffee mug.

When the pressure is released, open the pot, and mix in the cream cheese. Once the cream cheese is melted in, add the cornstarch and milk mixture. Stir until it thickens, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Blogmas 2014- Day 1 Favorite Christmas Tradition

This year, I'm participating in Sandra's, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, Blogmas 2014.  If you want to join in, you can go over to her post, by clicking here , and see what it's all about.   When I was a kid, growing up, we never had fake trees.  I loved everything about them. The smell, the way they looked, and even more so, the going out as a family in the cold.  It was always a hunt whether at a tree far or a parking lot full of precut trees.  When I was younger it was the parking lot.  There was a place about a mile from our house that we would drive to.  We'd walk through tons of trees leaning against walls and fences.  My dad would hold each one up, shaking them a little bit and asking what we thought.  We all got to be involved in finding the perfect tree.  As we got older, we started going to tree farms instead of the parking lot.  We'd get a sled and a saw and walk between aisles and aisles in fields, full of gorgeou...
