Make It Now Cooking Directions
These directions are for cooking this recipe to serve immediately and NOT to freeze for later.

- Place the chicken broth, hashbrowns, salt, pepper, onions and celery into the inner pot.
- Lock the cover into place and seal the steam nozzle.

- Natural release the pressure for 5 minutes and quick release any remaining pressure.
- Change the setting to saute, and add the milk and cheese. Stir until cheese is melted and the soup is thoroughly warmed.

Join the discussionDid you have any trouble with it sticking to the pot? I tried this tonight but doubled the recipe. It took forever to seal…about 30 min…then was stuck pretty bad on the bottom. It also turned the hash browns to mush. User error? I’m new to the IP.
Sorry to hear this! Curious if you adjusted the time since you doubled the recipe? Here is a blog post you might find helpful.
I had to flip my frozen block over halfway through the saute time to generate more liquid, because I felt like if I didn’t, it was going to start sticking. After doing that, it seemed to work as directed.
I made this vegan and it turned out great! I used 1 cup of vegan cheddar cheese (instead of 1 1/2 cup) per 4 servings, vegetable broth, and unsweetened almond milk. Not sure if that information is useful to anyone else, but I thought I’d post it just in case.
Thanks for sharing, sounds delicious!
Made this tonight and it was super easy and super delicious!
So glad this recipe worked out for you Sarah! Happy Cooking! ~OAMM
I am making this with a recipe I have that would be from a crock pot. How would I go about this.
This post has tips on converting slow cooker recipes to the Instant Pot: https://onceamonthmeals.com/blog/series/kitchen-tips/crock-pot-vs-instant-pot/
I made this exactly the way explained except I double it, and it was perfect!
When your Freeze for later, do you actually freeze the milk and cheese (together) in a separate bag? Thank you!
Hi Kelly, yes you are absolutely correct. You freeze the milk and cheese together in a separate quart size freezer bag. Happy Cooking! ~ OAMM
Do I need to thaw the milk/cheese? Otherwise I’d be adding a big frozen chunk to my hot soup, right?
Hi Sandy! You can, but it is not necessary. If you prefer, you can set it in a bowl of water to help it thaw, but it should melt just fine without a problem during the last step.
We hope this helps!
