cuisine icon Notes
["Beyond
• For an 8-quart Instant Pot, you must increase the broth to 2 quarts (8 cups).
• For a richer soup, stir up to 1 cup heavy or light cream into the soup before you add the cheese in step 5.
• For a sweeter soup, use half regular tots and half sweet potato tots (sometimes called “puffs”).
• Garnish the servings with crumbled bacon, sour cream, and/or minced chives (or the green part of a scallion). Or crisp Tater Tots in a skillet,
toaster oven, or an air fryer and use them as a garnish on the soup"]
