Pot of Gold Recipe Instant Pot

Pot of Gold Recipe Instant Pot is an amazingly easy dinner. Pot of gold is tomato soup with cheesy dumplings. It’s like a grilled cheese and tomato soup all grown up! The dumplings are oozing with cheese. Pieces of the dumplings break off and thicken the soup and release all that cheese too! You can use any type cheese you want. I just chose these two.

Making it in the Instant pot is so easy and made perfect dumplings.  Even if you don’t have an instant pot I included directions to make it stove top. You can get the same pressure cooker I have HERE. As usual I have a little story to add to this recipe.

When my mom was a little girl, she went to a sleep over at a friends house and they had Pot of Gold for dinner. She went home and told her dad all about it. My grandfather was a great cook; it runs in the family. Hey it really does, my 3 times great grandmother was known from the east coast to Michigan along all the oil trails for her food.

So back to the story, Grandpa asked my mom what all was in the Pot of Gold soup and he recreated it. My mom and grandpa both made it a little different. I mix up how I make it; sometimes like mom and sometimes like grandpa. This Pot of Gold recipe is like my moms (except the balsamic vinegar, thats mine)

Pot of Gold Recipe

Ingredients:

5 cans tomato soup
5 cans water
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
3 cups baking mix
1 cup milk
4 ounces shredded cheddar
4 ounces cubed cheddar
8 ounces cubed colby jack

Directions:

In your instant pot, mix together the soup, water, and balsamic vinegar. Set your pot to the soup setting (mine is #2) and set the time to 8 minutes. Shut the valve so steam builds.

In a medium bowl mix together the cheese and the baking mix

Now add the milk and stir to combine. You don’t want to over mix the dough.

Drop small scoops of the dumplings into the soup. Continue until all the dough is in the soup.

Replace lid with valve shut, set again to soup and this time only 6 minutes. Caution this will be extremely hot! Serve and Enjoy!

if you don’t have an instant pot follow these directions:?Heat the soup on the stove until it starts to boil, stirring often. Mix dumpling dough as directed above. ??Once the soup is hot, reduce heat to low, drop in the dumplings DO NOT STIR ONCE THE DUMPLINGS ARE IN. Cook for 20 minutes with the lid on. Serve and Enjoy!
