How To Make Jason’s Deli Irish Potato Soup

Step One: Turn the Instant Pot to Sauté mode. Melt butter and add diced onions, celery, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes.

Step Two: Stir in the peeled and diced potatoes, then pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Mix well to combine. Close the lid and set the valve to Sealing. Cook on High Pressure for 8 minutes. Once cooking is complete, carefully do a Quick Release of the pressure.

Step Three: Switch the Instant Pot back to Sauté mode. Stir in the half-and-half or heavy cream, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Allow the soup to simmer for 2–3 minutes until heated through and creamy. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot.

Copycat Jason’s Deli Irish Potato Soup Recipe Tips

• Use starchy potatoes – Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes give the soup a creamy, hearty texture.
• Don’t overcook the vegetables – Slightly firmer vegetables hold their shape better and prevent a mushy soup.
• Adjust creaminess – Add more or less half-and-half/heavy cream depending on your preferred soup thickness.
• Season gradually – Taste and adjust salt and pepper at the end to avoid over-seasoning.
• Optional garnishes – Top with fresh parsley, chives, or shredded cheese for extra flavor and visual appeal.
• Make it ahead – The soup tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together.

Storing, Freezing & Reheating Instructions

• Storing: Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Keep it chilled to maintain freshness and flavor.
• Freezing: Allow the soup to cool completely, then transfer to a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Avoid freezing with the cream added, as it may separate; add cream when reheating.
• Reheating: Reheat the soup on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. Add extra cream if needed to restore the soup’s creamy texture.

Copycat Jason’s Deli Irish Potato Soup Recipe Faqs

Can I make this soup in a slow cooker instead of an Instant Pot? Yes! Cook the vegetables and potatoes on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, then stir in the cream before serving.

Can I use frozen potatoes? Yes, but reduce the cooking time slightly as frozen potatoes will cook faster than fresh.

Can I substitute milk for the cream? You can, but the soup will be less rich and creamy; whole milk works best if you want a lighter version.

How can I make this soup dairy-free? Use a plant-based cream or coconut milk and a dairy-free butter substitute to keep it creamy without dairy.

Can I add extra vegetables? Absolutely! Carrots, leeks, or parsnips can be added to enhance flavor and nutrition.

Can this soup be frozen? Yes, but it’s best to freeze before adding the cream. Thaw in the refrigerator and stir in cream when reheating.
