Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prevent the Instant Pot BURN notice?
Always scrape the bottom of the stainless inner pot thoroughly with a wooden spatula after sautéing vegetables. Deglazing with chicken broth releases all stuck caramelized starches before sealing.
Can I leave out the heavy cream?
Yes. The diced potatoes and cornstarch slurry provide natural thickness. You can substitute whole milk or unsweetened almond milk for a lighter broth.
What is the best way to serve the pastry?
Bake puff pastry cutouts on a separate baking sheet and place them directly on top of each filled soup bowl right before serving. This keeps the pastry shatteringly crisp.
