How to Use Your Instant Pot as a Crockpot
Did you know you can use your Instant Pot as a crockpot, not just a pressure cooker? Instead of having two machines, you only need one! Basically all you have to do to use your Instant Pot as a crockpot is push the slow cooker or crockpot button and set the time according to the recipe. Additionally, I would suggest always using the Instant Pot on high instead of low. This is because the Instant Pot doesn’t always work exactly as good as a crockpot. Here is a video to help you out!

How to make Crockpot/Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Soup
Step 1:
In your crock pot, add chicken stock.

Step 2
Next add chicken and cook on high for 2-3 hours. When chicken is tender, shred.
In a medium skillet, melt butter. Add flour and whisk constantly for 1 minute. Add heavy whipping cream and whisk constantly for 2 minutes. This is your cream base.
Steps 4-10
Add remaining ingredients, including cream base except the shredded cheese.
Step 11
Blend all the ingredients together well and cook for 2 hours on low (high for Instant Pot)

Step 12
Stir in 1 ½ cups of cheese to crockpot mixture. Continue to cook on low for an additional 30 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
Top with remaining cheese and green onions or avocado. Serve with tortilla chips or crusty bread.
Instant Pot Buffalo Chicken Soup Instructions
If you are using your Instant Pot instead of your crockpot, the recipe can be followed as above. However, instead of using the pressure cook buttons, you will use the slow cooker or crock pot button on your Instant Pot. I would also suggest cooking it on high instead of on low.
