How to make this Instant Pot German Potato Soup recipe
To make this German Potato Soup in the Instant Pot, you need to chop and dice some ingredients. Start with your potatoes. Peel and dice the potatoes. I used red potatoes, but feel free to use whatever variety you have on hand. Place the chopped potatoes in the Instant Pot.
Dice the carrots and add them to the Instant Pot.
Dice the celery and onion and add them to the Instant Pot as well.
Chop cabbage and add to the pot. I find it best to use a white cabbage.
Add in marjoram, paprika, salt and pepper and stir.
Mix all of the items together in the pot. Pour vegetable broth over the ingredients and add water.
Lock lid on the pot and set valve to seal. Set to high pressure for 10 minutes. Once the instant pot stops counting, release the pressure. Taste test carefully and add more salt if needed.
You can serve this German Potato Soup with a slice of crusty bread. You can also top this soup with sliced sausage or bacon and parsley. I like adding the sausage sometimes to get some protein in there. However you serve it, this German Potato Soup in the Instant Pot is easy and oh so tasty!
