INSTANT POT® SWEET POTATO CHIPOTLE SOUP

Instant Pot® Sweet Potato Chipotle Soup image

Smoky-sweet flavors are plentiful in this quick and easy soup that brings the heat! I like to double the chipotle for an extra kick. Drizzle with a little extra cream before serving and top with garlic croutons.
